ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - Players and coaches are currently looking ahead to Week 11 in the National Football League, but four former Knights had impressive performances in Week 10.
Cornerback Asante Samuel (Atlanta) had two tackles and three passes defended in the Falcons' first loss of the season to the Saints. He also recorded his second interception of the season and is still fourth in interceptions by active players with 47 for his career.
Wide receiver Brandon Marshall (Chicago) had eight receptions for 107 yards, in the Bears' tough loss to the Texans on Sunday in soggy conditions. He topped 100 yards for the fifth time in nine games and ranks second in the NFL with 67 receptions and third in the league with 904 yards.
Cornerback Josh Robinson (Minnesota) produced again with the Vikings. In Sunday's win against the Lions, Robinson recorded three solo tackles and one assisted tackle.
Kicker Matt Prater (Denver) was 2-for-3 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra points in the Broncos' 36-14 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He kicked his second 53-yard field goal of the season.
North of the border in the Canadian Football League, former Knights Joe Burnett (Edmonton) and Keith Shologan (Saskatchewan) saw their respective seasons come to an end in the playoffs. Burnett finished tied for the most INTs (6) in the league while Shologan registered four sacks from his defensive tackle position in 2012.
