Knights in the NFL: Week 4

by Katharyn Gregory

ORLANDO - The NFL wrapped its fourth week of action and three former Knights delivered a diverse showcase of offensive and defensive skillsets to close out the week.

RJ Harvey secured 10 targets on Sunday against the 49ers totaling 68 yards. The running back had an impressive 18 yard dart in the fourth which included evading a group of opponents that closed in on him.

In the season opener against the Chiefs, Harvey caught all his intended targets and had a few carries before the night's conclusion. The Broncos running back sat out in Week 2 with a hamstring related injury but came back stronger than ever in Week 3, catching six of his intended targets against the Rams.
