Technically one Alabama player’s team is in action tonight in the Monday Night Football matchup between the St. Louis Rams and the New York Giants. However, the player, Marquis Johnson for St. Louis, is listed as an active player, though “physically unable to perform”. So since he won’t record any stats tonight, we’ll go ahead and give the numbers for week two.

Alabama players played important roles in three of the weekend’s most exciting finishes: Green Bay @ Carolina, Oakland @ Buffalo and Philadelphia @ Atlanta. Unfortunately, the Tide has three players on what may be the worst NFL team in the history of professional football, the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are NFL’s version of Ole Miss.

    1. I know; I didn’t see DeMeco’s game this past weekend, but I did see Rolondo’s two weeks ago and his stats were not an accurate measuring stick on his impact on the game. He was everywhere.

  1. Julios stats are so misleading…if any of yall saw his catch you know what im talking about…new joke around ATL is that Julios new name is Waffle House…cuz he’s always open!!! ROLL TIDE AND GO FALCONS!!!
