SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Six former members of the Syracuse football program, including Jacksonville head coach Doug Marrone, took the field during Week 7 of the 2018 NFL season.
Arizona Cardinals defensive end Chandler Jones continued to terrorize opposing quarterbacks, recording three tackles, including one sack, in his team's 45-10 loss against the Denver Broncos last Thursday night. Jones has at least one sack in six of the Cardinals' seven games this season, and he's tied for sixth in the league with 6.5 sacks.
On the opposite sideline, Denver safety Shamarko Thomas had his most productive game of the season to date. Thomas logged three special teams tackles (two solo) against the Cardinals.Â
Here's a quick recap of how Syracuse football alums fared in the seventh week of the season:
Justin Pugh, OL, Arizona Cardinals
- Started at right guard in Arizona's first six games before missing last Thursday night's contest versus Denver with a broken left hand.
Â
Chandler Jones, DE, Arizona Cardinals
