Northwestern in the NFL, Week 14: Wildcats make key plays in final playoff push

Northwestern alums were all over the defensive side of the ball in a busy Week 14 for the Pro ‘Cats.

Anthony Walker Jr.: Indianapolis Colts, LB

Walker combined for eight tackles while playing 60% of the Colts’ defensive snaps in their 44-27 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Though Walker experienced a decline in percentage of snaps played, his performance against the Raiders was nothing to scoff about. He will look to continue his hot streak next week against the division rival Houston Texans.

Week 15 matchup: vs. Houston Texans (12:00 pm CT, 12/20)

Ifeadi Odenigbo: Minnesota Vikings, DE

Odenigbo totaled three tackles (two solo, one assisted) and played 82% of the Vikings’ defensive snaps during their 14-26 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
