ORLANDO (UCFKnights.com) – Twelve former Knights saw action in the NFL in Week 5, highlighted by a pair of defensive backs A.J. Bouye and Shaquill Griffin who helped lead their teams to victory on Sunday.
Bouye recorded three tackles and broke up one pass as his Jacksonville Jaguars improved to 3-2 with a 30-9 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bouye has helped anchor the number one pass defense in the league through five weeks of the NFL season.
Griffin's Seattle Seahawks defeated a Los Angeles Rams team that came into this weekend leading the league with 35.5 points per game on offense. The Seahawks held them to just 10 points in a 16-10 victory. Griffin finished the day with three tackles and one pass break up.
