Many NC State alumni have made their marks in the NFL this season. Here are the most notable performances from Week 10.
Russell Wilson
Quarterback Russell Wilson struggled this Sunday, completing only 14 of 32 passes for 240 yards, a touchdown, an interception and a 67.2 passer rating — by far his lowest rating of the season — as his Seattle Seahawks fell 39-32 to the visiting Arizona Cardinals. His 40-yard pass to wide receiver Paul Richardson led to fullback Will Tukuafu’s eventual rushing touchdown to get Seattle on the board in the second quarter. Wilson did rush for 52 yards on six carries; however, he also fumbled. His one touchdown pass, a 32-yard pass to wide receiver Doug Baldwin in the third quarter, was a big one as it brought the Seahawks within one score of the Cardinals.
Stephen Hauschka
The Seahawks kicker had a solid day, going 2-for-2 on field goals and 2-for-2 on extra points. He made a 33-yarder in the third quarter to bring the game within two scores, and a 46-yarder late in the fourth quarter, to cut the Cardinals’ lead to 39-32.
Stephen Tulloch
The Detroit Lions middle linebacker ranks in the top 20 in combined tackles in the NFL through Week 10, getting 43 individually and assisting on 24 others for a total of 67. Tulloch had another solid day Sunday, registering four tackles as the Lions beat the Green Bay Packers 18-16 at Lambeau Field.
Willie Young
Young had a good day at outside linebacker for the Chicago Bears Sunday, recording two combined tackles and his first interception of the season, which he returned for 39 yards, as the Bears won their road game against the St. Louis Rams 37-13.
Audie Cole
The Minnesota Vikings announced Nov. 8 that middle linebacker Audie Cole will be out for the remainder of the season after he suffered a fractured ankle last week against the St. Louis Rams. Cole had three tackles on the season, in a mostly backup role, prior to his injury.
