SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Six former members of the Syracuse football program, including Jacksonville head coach Doug Marrone, took the field during Week 14 of the 2018 NFL season.
Tampa Bay's Cameron Lynch, Indianapolis' Zaire Franklin and Denver's Shamarko Thomas each recorded special teams tackles this past weekend. Lynch now has a special teams tackle in four consecutive games.
Thomas, meanwhile, was waived by the Broncos after the game to make room for safety Trey Marshall, who was promoted from the practice squad. Thomas, who played predominantly on special teams, had seven combined tackles in six games.
Here's a quick recap of how Syracuse football alums fared in the 14th week of the season:

- Tied for sixth in the NFL with 12 sacks and tied for 10th with three forced fumbles through 13 games.
