Peoples-Jones Hauls In Game-Winning TD, Brady Sets New NFL Record, More

A plethora of former Michigan Wolverines football players made headlines in the NFL this weekend, on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.

On offense, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady threw for 369 yards and four touchdowns, while Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones hauled in a game-winning score for his club with just 11 seconds left.

Defensively, Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham continued his havoc-wreaking ways by forcing a fumble late in the fourth quarter that sealed a win over the New York Giants, while Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark recovered a fumble and rumbled 14 yards the other way with it in a blowout win over the Denver Broncos.

Below is the complete list of former Michigan players who currently reside on NFL rosters and how they did this past week:
