#DukeInTheNFL: Week 13 Recap
12/7/2021 10:33:00 AM | Football
DURHAM – Rookie running back Deon Jackson scored his first NFL touchdown for the Indianapolis Colts in its 31-0 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday to highlight 13 former Duke football players during the 13th week of play in the National Football League.
Jackson finished with six rushes for 19 yards, including his three-yard score. His touchdown was the first rushing touchdown scored by a Duke running back in the NFL since Juwan Thompson (Denver Broncos) did so against the San Diego Chargers on Oct. 30, 2016.
Fellow rookie Los Angeles Charger Chris Rumph II also recorded a career milestone over the weekend in the Chargers' 41-22 win at Cincinnati on Sunday. Rumph II earned his first career sack when he broke into the backfield to take down Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow for a five-yard loss.
Veteran cornerback Ross Cockrell recorded three tackles to assist Tampa Bay to a 30-17 win at division-rival Atlanta.
Rookie Victor Dimukeje also saw playing time in a meaningful win for the Arizona Cardinals. The team secured a victory on the road at Chicago, 33-22, to improve to 10-2, the best record in the NFL.
Buffalo Bills linebacker Joe Giles-Harris earned a call up to the active roster in the Bills' game against New England on Monday Night Football. It was Giles-Harris' first appearance of the 2021 season as the Bills fell to the Patriots, 14-10.
