Mountaineers in the Pros: Week Ten

Every week, former Mountaineers battle it out on the gridiron, let's see how they performed in week ten of NFL action

Nick Kwiatkoski did something that no other Bear has done since Brian Urlacher, Karl Joseph finds himself on the IR, and one Mountaineer grabbed his first reception of the year, but what did the other Mountaineers do in week ten of NFL action? Let's take a look.

'Eer of the Week: Nick Kwiatkoski

Nick Kwiatkoski
Chicago Bears (NFL)
LB | 6-2 | 243
Bethel Park, Pa.

Nick Kwiatkoski recorded 10 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 interception in the Bears 20-13 victory over Detroit.  He became the first Bears player to do that since 2001 when Brian Urlacher did it.  This is easiest 'Eer of the Week decision yet, congrats Mr. Kwiatkoski.

Karl Joseph

Karl Joseph was on pace to earn his 2nd consecutive 'Eer of the Week honors following his 6 tackles and interception on Thursday night, but two major externalities proved relevant.  First, Nick Kwiatkoski played lights out.  Second, Joseph injured his foot and now could miss the rest of the season.
