#ProHogs in the NFL – Week 16 Report
December 29, 2020
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Here is a look at how the 16 former Arkansas football players active on NFL rosters fared this past weekend in Week 16 of the NFL season.
BEST OF WEEK 16
Kamren Curl, S, Washington Football Team
Curl tallied a team-leading nine tackles and his second career interception in Washington’s 20-13 setback to Carolina. He picked off Panthers QB Teddy Bridgewater, tacking on a 12-yard return late in the first half. Curl has made 86 stops this season, passing Hall of Fame CB Champ Bailey (1999) for third-most tackles by a rookie in franchise history. According to PFF, his defensive grade (69.9) and coverage grade (72.4) are tops among all rookie safeties. Opposing receivers have caught 81.3% of passes when covered by Curl, fourth-best among all league safeties.
Brandon Allen, QB, Cincinnati Bengals
Allen outdueled three-time Pro Bowler Deshaun Watson, throwing for career-highs of 371 yards and two touchdowns on 29-of-37 passing in Cincinnati’s 37-31 win at Houston. PFF graded Allen at 91.0, the NFL’s second-highest QB grade of the week behind Tampa Bay’s Tom Brady (93.3). He completed 78% of his passes, averaging 10 yards per attempt, helping the Bengals roll to season-highs in points and total yards (540). Allen hooked up with TE Drew Sample for a 6-yard score in the first quarter and WR Tee Higgins on a 20-yard score in the third quarter, that was SportsCenter’s No. 4 play of the day. With the Bengals trailing 31-27 and six minutes on the fourth quarter clock, Allen engineered a 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive, completing all three of his pass attempts before RB Samaje Perine plunged into the end zone from three yards out. Cincinnati has won back-to-back games for the first time in two seasons.
