Knights in the NFL – Week 16
Dec 29 | Football
In the penultimate week of the NFL regular season, former Rutgers players continued to find the end zone. Kenny Britt led St. Louis to an upset over Seattle as he beat Pro Bowl Defensive Back Richard Sherman for a diving catch in the end zone. He is now over 600 yards on the season for the fourth time in his career. Mohamed Sanu also had a touchdown in primetime, harkening back to his Rutgers days by running in a score out of the "Wild Knight" formation.
