Badgers in the NFL: Week 13

Veterans

• Russell Wilson, QB (Seahawks): Wilson threw for 240 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Seattle’s win over the Vikings on Monday night. The former Super Bowl champion has been sensational all year and has thrown for 26 touchdowns and just four interceptions through 13 weeks.

• James White, RB (Patriots): White far and away had his best game of the season on Sunday night. The six year veteran was targeted a season-high 11 times and notched eight receptions for 98 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for 79 yards on 14 carries.

• Melvin Gordon, RB (Chargers): Despite the Chargers losing and likely killing their playoff chances, Gordon had a productive day on Sunday. He rushed for 99 yards on 20 carries and added 11 receiving yards on two receptions.
• Dare Ogunbowale, RB (Buccaneers): Ogunbowale once again played sparingly as Tampa Bay’s third down back and finished with two catches for 12 yards.
• Derek Watt, FB (Chargers): Watt logged 29 total snaps (four at fullback, 25 on special teams) for the Chargers on Sunday.
• Ryan Ramczyk, OT (Saints): The former All-Pro has started all 12 games at right tackle for the Saints this season and played every offensive snap in Week 13.
• Rick Wagner, OT (Lions): The seven year veteran started at right tackle for the Lions on Thanksgiving.
• Rob Havenstein, OT (Rams): Havenstein missed his third straight game due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 10. He’s likely to return to the field soon and is considered day-to-day.

• Kevin Zeitler, OG (Giants): The eight year veteran started at right guard and played every offensive snap in Week 13.
• Travis Frederick, C (Cowboys): Frederick has started every game at center for the Cowboys this season and played all 78 offensive snaps on Sunday.
• Ryan Groy, C (Chargers): Groy saw seven snaps at center and five snaps on special teams in the Chargers’ loss to the Broncos.
• Troy Fumagalli, TE (Broncos): Fumagalli logged 15 snaps at tight end and finished with zero catches in Denver’s win over the Chargers.
• Lance Kendricks, TE (Chargers): Kendricks played five snaps on special teams for the Chargers in Week 13.
• Alex Erickson, WR (Bengals): Erickson had two receptions for 21 yards in Cincinnati’s first win of the season on Sunday.
• Beau Allen, DT (Buccaneers): The backup nose tackle played 15 defensive snaps and finished with two tackles in Week 13.
• Joe Schobert, LB (Browns): After back to back games with two interceptions, the former Pro Bowler had a quiet performance in Week 13 with just seven tackles in Cleveland’s loss to the Steelers.
• T.J. Watt, LB (Steelers): What else is there to say about the youngest Watt brother? He’s been a pass rushing menace seemingly every week and finished with two tackles, one sack, and two quarterback hits on Sunday. Watt will have a legitimate chance to win Defensive Player of Year if he can finish the season strong.

• Vince Biegel, LB (Dolphins): Biegel started at outside linebacker and had three tackles in Miami’s upset win over the Eagles.
• Leon Jacobs, LB (Jaguars): The former seventh round pick had three tackles and a sack for the Jaguars in Week 13. Jacobs also played a season-high 92% of special teams snaps.

• David Edwards, OG (Rams): The fifth round pick started at right guard and played every offensive snap in the Rams’ win over the Cardinals.
• T.J. Edwards, LB (Eagles): Edwards saw only four snaps at linebacker, but played 84% of special teams snaps in Week 13.
