Several former Michigan Wolverines football players made big plays in the NFL this weekend, but none were bigger than Cleveland Browns wideout Donovan Peoples-Jones' 75-yard touchdown reception that helped lead his club to a 41-35 victory at Tennessee.
New England Patriots defensive end Chase Winovich also tallied his first career interception as a pro, while New York Giants safety Jabrill Peppers continued his stellar season in a win at Seattle and Green Bay Packers linebacker Rashan Gary enjoyed arguably his best game of the year in a 30-16 defeat of Philadelphia.
