Bulldogs in the NFL: 2011 Week 2

Three former Bulldogs participated in NFL games in Week 2. Below is how they fared...

• Kerry Collins, QB, Indianapolis Colts (Class of 1990) - The Colts opened their 2011 home slate of games with a loss to the Cleveland Browns, 27-19. Wilson alum Collins completed 19 of 38 pass attempts for 191 yards with 1 TD & 1 INT. The Colts (0-2) will host the Steelers (1-1) on Sunday Night Football this week.

• John Gilmore, TE, New Orleans Saints (Class of 1997) - The Saints played their first home game of 2011 against the defending NFC North Champions, the Chicago Bears (one of John's former teams). The Saints rebounded from their opening week loss to the Packers by beating Chicago, 30-13. Former Bulldogs star Gilmore was active in Week 2 but did not catch a pass. The Saints (1-1) host the Houston Texans (2-0) on Sunday at 1:00 PM.

• Chad Henne, QB, Miami Dolphins (Class of 2004) - The Dolphins are off to a slow start. After dropping an offensive slugfest to the rival Patriots in Week 1, Miami faltered against the Texans, 23-13. Wilson alum Henne threw 30 passes, completing 12 for 170 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT (off a deflection). The offensive line has looked below average while backs & receivers continually drop passes. Things must come together quickly. Miami (0-2) travels to Cleveland (1-1) for a 1:00 PM showdown with the Browns this Sunday.
