Buckeyes in the NFL: Notable former Ohio State football player Week 7 NFL offensive performances
The Ohio State Buckeyes just completed another impressive week where they dominated the Indiana Hoosiers on primetime in Bloomington, Indiana to the tune of 54-7. This team has clearly hit its stride and the Indiana victory may not be the most impressive resume builder, but the fashion in which the beatdown occurred strengthens the Ohio State playoff argument.
Let’s move on from the Saturday college football talk and follow-up with how some former Buckeyes competed for their NFL teams in week seven. As we do every week, we provide a brief breakdown of how most of the notable former Buckeyes are playing and we will dive into the offensive side of the ball first!

The Cincinnati Bengals blew the doors off of AFC North favorite, Baltimore Ravens, 41-17, and Joe Burrow is continuing his duty of transforming the Cincinnati franchise by passing for 416 yards and three touchdowns with only one interception.
Joe Burrow deserves the same respect and conversation we give Herbert!

Justin Fields isn’t taking the NFL by storm just yet as the Chicago Bears got dominated by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 38-3, and Fields passed for 184 yards and three interceptions.
On the first INT, Justin Fields quick snapped the ball because they told him in his headset the Bucs had 12 players on the field. He thought it was a free play. Second week in a row that has happened.

He just did it again.
