Mountaineers in the NFL: Week 13

Following week 13 of NFL action, several former Mountaineers made significant contributions to their organizations. Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Kyzir White tied his counterpart Drue Tranquil for a team-leading 10 tackles in a big conference road win at Cincinnati. Guards Mark Glowinski (Indianapolis Colts) and Quinton Spain (Cincinnati Bengals) continue to push their squads to playoff contention, and Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Tavon Austin snagged his 11th reception of the season.

Las Vegas Raiders linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski came back from an ankle injury but, after injuring the same ankle, left the game early against Washington, and New York Jets tight end Trevon Wesco was out versus the Philadelphia Eagles with an ankle injury.
