Badgers in the NFL: Week 2

• Russell Wilson, QB (Seahawks): It was just another day at the office for Wilson, who finished with 343 passing yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in an overtime loss to the Titans on Sunday.

• Jonathan Taylor, RB (Colts): Taylor rushed for 51 yards on 15 carries in the Colts’ Week 2 loss to the Rams. Through two games, Taylor is averaging just 3.3 yards per carry and has yet to find the end zone.

Backfield mate Javonte Williams outperformed Gordon in Week 2, turning his 13 carries into 64 rushing yards.

• Tyler Biadasz, C (Cowboys): Biadasz played every offensive snap at center and allowed two pressures in the Cowboys’ win over the Chargers.
• Quintez Cephus, WR (Lions): With starting wide receiver Tyrell Williams out with a concussion for the Lions, Cephus took advantage of the increased opportunity. The second-year pro finished with four catches for 63 yards on seven targets in the Lions’ Monday night loss to the Packers. Cephus also hauled in a receiving touchdown for the second straight week.
