NFL Week 15: Cyclones Recap and Highlights
In a heartbreaking turn of events during Week 15 of the NFL season, Iowa State’s star player, David Montgomery, suffered a major MCL injury that is likely to sideline him for the rest of the regular season and potentially the playoffs. The Detroit Lions’ running back had a tough game against the Buffalo Bills, only managing to run for four yards on five carries and catching four passes for 31 yards. This unfortunate injury marks a somber end to Montgomery’s regular season, where he had an impressive 775 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground along with 341 receiving yards.
Breece Hall’s Return
On a brighter note, Breece Hall made a triumphant return to the New York Jets’ lineup in Week 15 after missing one game due to a knee injury. The third-year running back showcased his skills by running the ball nine times for 30 yards and a touchdown, while also contributing with two receptions for 21 yards. Hall’s one-yard touchdown in the final minutes of the game helped secure a crucial win for the Jets, bringing his total yards for the season to an impressive 1,144 with 12 total touchdowns.
Will McDonald IV’s Performance
Despite recording just two tackles in the Jets’ victory over the Jaguars, Will McDonald IV continues to be a force to be reckoned with on the field. With 10 sacks this season, McDonald ranks eighth in the NFL, showcasing his prowess as a defensive player.
Brock Purdy’s Struggles
Unfortunately, Brock Purdy faced challenges in Week 15 as he and the San Francisco 49ers fell short against the Los Angeles Rams. Purdy struggled in the wet conditions, completing only 14 out of 31 passes for 141 yards and throwing an interception.
