We know you’re confused that it’s December and we’re talking about both UVA and football in the same article, but trust us on this one. Virginia alumni continue to dot the NFL (even if largely on losing teams).
The major contributors:
Branden Albert, Miami Dolphins – Albert returned after missing 2 games and played every offensive snap. The Dolphins scored just 6 points (1 TD) but they were down big early. They ran for nearly 4 yards per rush, but only had 16 running plays. The Ravens had just 1 sack.
Ahmad Brooks, San Francisco 49ers – The 49ers were crushed by a bad Bears team.
