Terps in the NFL: Week Eight

The Jets upsetting the Cincinnati Bengals was the biggest surprise story of Week Eight, and a Terp was right in the mix of it. RB Ty Johnson had one of his best NFL games in the 34-31 win, recording 86 total yards and scoring an impressive touchdown.

Let's check in on Ty and the rest of the Terps in Week Eight of Terps in the NFL:

Ty Johnson

Not many expected the Jets to win in Week Eight, facing one of the hottest teams in the NFL with their backup quarterback. But Ty Johnson helped show that what's expected soometimes means nothing, tallying five receptions for 71 yards with a touchdown as well as 15 rushing yards. 

Ty was not going to be stopped. Giddy Up! ALWAYS running angry. Ty was PUMPED about the win. First time starting QB Mike White was a big story for the Jets and Ty loves everything about it. Ty was named the DC Touchdown Club Pro Player of the Week!

Stefon Diggs

WR Stefon Diggs and the Buffalo Bills came back strong after a bye week, defeating the Miami Dolphins, 27-11. Stef had five catches for 40 yards and a touchdown against the division rival. Dance it out. Another pregame catch with a fan. Get you a handshake like Stef's and Josh Allen's. Let's party.
