Badger Linebackers Absolutely Dominated the NFL This Weekend

If you were an NFL team playing against a Badger linebacker this week, you probably didn't have a very good time. Former Badgers across the league were wrecking havoc on their opponents. Which players showed out and made Bucky proud?

T.J. Watt (PIT) - 4 tackles, 1 sack, 1 fumble recovery

Watt made the game-sealing play against the Atlanta Falcons as he sacked quarterback Kirk Cousins on their final drive. Watt, who is entering his seventh season, hasn't lost a step and will once again be a Defensive Player of the Year Candidate.

Andrew Van Ginkel (MIN) - 4 tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT, 1 TD

Van Ginkel earned a game ball from the Minnesota Vikings after registering a sack and a pick-six in his debut for the team. The former Badger signed with the Vikings this offseason and it's safe to say he's off to a great start.

Zach Baun (PHI) - 15 tackles, 2 sacks

Zach Baun iced the game for the Philadelphia Eagles with his sack on Green Bay Packers' quarterback Malik Willis. He had 12.5 sacks his last season with the Badgers and looks like he wants to do it again with the Eagles.

T.J. Edwards (CHI) - 15 tackles

Another former Badger claimed 15 tackles this weekend in T.J. Edwards of the Chicago Bears. The inside linebacker was all over the field in a weird game where the Bears won despite not scoring on offense.
