By Connor Link, UK AthleticsThis week in the NFL, Detroit Lions right guard Larry Warford returned to the playing field after spending the last three weeks on the sideline with a sprained left knee. In a rematch with First Team All-Pro defensive tackle Gerald McCoy–of whom Warford got the better in their one-on-one matchup as a rookie last season–the former Wildcat emerged victorious. The Lions defeated McCoy’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 34-17.In addition to Warford’s successful return from the first injury of his entire football career, Week 14 marked former Kentucky wide receiver Chris Matthews’ first official game as an active NFL player. The 6-foot-5 Los Angeles native was promoted from the Seattle Seahawks’ practice squad on Saturday after two seasons in the Canadian Football League (where he was named most outstanding rookie in 2012). The defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, 24-14.Cats in the SpotlightRandall Cobb | #18 WR | Green Bay Packers (10-3)In a tight 43-37 win over the Atlanta Falcons, Cobb caught four passes for 58 yards.
