Each week, we will track how the locals in the NFL performed. Here’s a look at week five of the season.
* WR Rishard Matthews, Titans: In a 30-17 win over Miami, Matthews scored his first touchdown as a member of the Titans in a victory against his former team. Matthews, who signed with Tennessee this offseason after four years in Miami, caught four passes (on four targets) for 32 yards, including a 4-yard score in the fourth quarter. It was the 10th touchdown of Matthews’ NFL career.
* LB Kyle Van Noy, Lions: The McQueen High alum recorded three tackles – on a 3-yard pass, 4-yard run and 2-yard run, all by Ryan Matthews – in a 24-23 victory over Philadelphia.
