Red Raiders in the NFL | Regular Season Week 13, Nov. 28-Dec. 2
LUBBOCK, Texas – All nine of the former Red Raiders on NFL active 53-man rosters were in action during week 13 of the season. It began on Thanksgiving evening with Jordyn Brooks, who is one of 16 players in the NFL to have eclipsed 100 tackles this season, racking up nine tackles and a tackle for loss for the Dolphins on a frigid night at Lambeau Field. Over the weekend, rookie defensive back Tyler Owens stood out among former players as he played a pivotal role on special teams forcing his first career fumble in Washington's big win over the Titans.
A complete list of week 13 statistics and season statistics by former Red Raiders in the NFL is below.

LB Sam Eguavoen (2011-14): Eguavoen finished the day with one tackle as he logged 21 snaps on special teams and three on defense.
DB Tyler Owens (2022-23): Owens only saw playing time on special teams but forced his first fumble of the season on a kickoff at Tennessee's own 34 which led to a nine-play scoring drive to give the Commanders a 28-0 lead.
