SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Seven former members of the Syracuse University football program, including former head coach and offensive lineman Doug Marrone, were in action during Week 16 of the 2017 NFL season.
Rams linebacker Cameron Lynch recorded a special teams tackle in Los Angeles' 27-23 win against Tennessee Sunday. Signed by the Rams earlier this month after being released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Lynch has played in two games for Los Angeles since rejoining the organization. He played in all 16 games for the club in 2015 after signing with the Rams as an undrafted free agent.
With its victory over the Titans, Los Angeles (11-4) captured the NFC West title.Â
