Former Badgers wreck havoc in big win over Minnesota Vikings

While the Badgers in the Big Ten have gotten off to a rocky start, former Badgers in the NFL are absolutely cruising. The Pittsburgh Steelers, who employ four former Wisconsin defenders, were wrecking havoc against the Minnesota Vikings all game in their overseas matchup in Ireland.

In the 24-21 win, the former Badgers combined for 14 tackles, four sacks and an interception against Minnesota. Keeanu Benton and Nick Herbig each had 1.5 sacks, while T.J. Watt added another and also picked off Vikings' quarterback Carson Wentz. The trio was constantly in the Minnesota backfield, and prevented the Vikings from getting into any sort of rhythm.
