It was a massive Sunday for a bunch of former Cougars on the field and on the court.

Jamaal Williams continued his strong play since returning to the field as the Green Bay Packers knocked off the Kansas City Chiefs 31-24.

The Cougars’ all-time leading rusher showed his ability on the ground and as a receiver in the win, totaling a pair of huge touchdowns including a ridiculous diving catch in the back of the endzone.

The NFL Twitter page shared highlights of the amazing catch and throw from Aaron Rodgers.

The other score from Williams came on a one-yard plunge in the first quarter that gave the Packers a 14-0 lead.

All told, Williams finished with 22 yards rushing, three catches for 14 yards and the two scores.

Through seven games, Williams has rushed for 218 yards and a touchdown while adding 19 receptions for 127 yards and four scores.

Taysom Hill also made waves in the receiving game as the New Orleans Saints knocked off the Arizona Cardinals, 31-9.

In the victory, Hill registered three catches for 63 yards including a five-yard touchdown pass from Drew Brees.

The NFL Twitter page shared a video of the catch.

Hill now has 81 yards rushing and eight catches for 97 yards and three touchdowns.

A handful of other former Cougars also made some big plays on the gridiron.
