PHILADELPHIA – As Temple prepares for their football season to get underway, it was an eventful Week 1 in the NFL for former Owls players. Of the 26 former Owls on NFL rosters, 17 suited up to play this past weekend to kick off the season.
The action started early on Thursday night in the first game of the season, when Houston linebacker Jacob Martin (2014-17) recorded the first sack of the 2020 NFL season on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the first quarter. This was one of two tackles Martin recorded in the game.
