By Connor Link, UK AthleticsIt was an NFL Week 6 that saw UK’s alumni post a combined record of 8-2-1. Garry Williams of the Carolina Panthers partook in the NFL’s first tie of the season, which also happened to be the highest scoring stalemate in NFL history. Williams and the Panthers matched the Bengals 37-37 on the road in Cincinnati.Sunday against the New York Jets, Danny Trevathan of the Denver Broncos reinjured the same knee that sidelined him for the Broncos’ first three games of the season. The linebacker’s MRI revealed a fracture in the bone just above his left knee.Larry Warford, an offensive lineman who claims to have never touched a live ball during a single game of his entire football career (save for a recovered fumble while playing defense in seventh grade), almost made that dream a reality Sunday. Warford, at 6-foot-3 and 330 pounds, ran his first route as an eligible receiver Sunday in a win over the Minnesota Vikings. However, the trick play was flushed out early and Matthew Stafford of the Detroit Lions was sacked before he could find Warford downfield.Cats in the SpotlightRandall Cobb | #18 WR | Green Bay Packers (4-2)For the seventh time this season, Randall Cobb was able to find the end zone on the receiving end of an Aaron Rodgers pass. Cobb finished the day with five catches for 58 yards, and the Packers defeated the Miami Dolphins 27-24. Cobb’s seven total touchdowns are good for No. 2 in the NFL.Stevie Johnson | #13 WR | San Francisco 49ers (4-2)Stevie Johnson matched Cobb’s five-catch total, totaling 53 yards on Monday Night Football. Although Johnson failed to score a touchdown for the first time in three weeks, the 49ers defeated the St. Louis Rams 31-17.Avery Williamson | #54 ILB | Tennessee Titans (2-4)Avery Williamson came up huge for the Titans in their second win of the season. With less than five minutes remaining and the Titans up 16-7, the Jacksonville Jaguars were rapidly approaching the Tennessee red zone. However, Jags wide out Cecil Shorts III fumbled the ball, allowing Williamson to make the recovery and race 41 yards downfield. The highlight play complemented a three-tackle performance, and the Titans won the game 16-14.
