It is that time of week when we recap the best of the Buckeyes in the big league. The Scarlet and Gray were well represented with NFL talent this weekend, and some former Buckeyes are starting to find their footing as this young season gets into full swing.
The Cleveland Browns found themselves back in the win column on Sunday after dropping 3 straight games. Former Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins had a career-high 3 touchdown effort along with 84 rushing yards. Linebacker Jerome Baker was a key contributor on the defensive side of the ball, converting 3 tackles and a sack. Ronnie Hickman added to his season totals with his first interception of the season. Defensive Back Denzel Ward converted 4 tackles.
