Blake Cashman represent!!
Week one has come and gone and it was a pretty good start for several of the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the league. Boye Mafe continues to grow into one of the best pass rushers in the league. Minnesota is Safety U with three starting NFL safeties and one who made his first interception of the year. Unfortunately the first injury of the year hit as well as Carter Coughlin probably saw his season end. But there were a lot more positives than negatives through the first week. Here is a recap of how the Gophers in the league did.
Baltimore Ravens
Week 2 vs Las Vegas Raiders
Week 3 @ Dallas Cowboys
Rashod Bateman-WR
Bateman played 53 offensive snaps this week or 83% of the offensive snaps. He was targeted four times and made three catches for 40 yards. But the Ravens would fall to 0-2
Daniel Faalele-OL
Faalele started at right guard and played all 75 offensive snaps. It was another not so good game. Maxx Crosby had his way with Faalele all game long.
Chicago Bears
Week 2 @ Houston Texans—Sunday Night
Week 3 @ Indianapolis Colts
Terrell Smith-CB
Smith played just nine snaps on special teams in the Bears loss in Houston. He didn’t record a stat.
Dallas Cowboys
Week 2 vs New Orleans Saints
Week 3 vs Baltimore Ravens
Brevin Span-Ford-TE
Span-Ford was TE2 for Dallas on Sunday and he played 22 offensive snaps and added one on special teams in the Cowboys blowout loss to the Saints. He was targeted once but did not make the catch so he still is looking for his first NFL reception.
Houston Texans
Week 2 vs Chicago Bears -Sunday Night
Week 3 @ Minnesota Vikings
Eric Murray-S
Murray played 52 snaps on defense and another 16 on special teas in the Texans win over the Bears. He made two solo tackles and added a pass defense.

Minnesota Vikings
Week 2 vs San Francisco 49ers
Week 3 vs Houston Texans
Blake Cashman-LB

He had one sack, one tackles for loss, one QB hit and three pass defenses—one of which would be deflected for an interception.
