Several former Iowa State players showcased their talents in NFL Week 16, with Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers leading the way despite a loss to the Miami Dolphins. He threw for 313 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 26 yards.

Breece Hall of the New York Jets continued his impressive return from injury, contributing significantly against the Los Angeles Rams. Other notable performances included Will McDonald IV and Allen Lazard, both also from the Jets.

Roquan Smith, linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens, is recovering from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for his first game with the team. He participated in a limited capacity during a walk-through practice, indicating progress.

Despite a dip in performance this season, Smith remains a key player for the Ravens, leading the team in tackles. His presence was missed in the recent game against the Los Angeles Chargers, but his return is hoped for in the upcoming match against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Baltimore Ravens secured a 30-23 victory against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 12, but not without concerns over tight end Charlie Kolar's health, as he was seen in a sling post-game.

Despite Kolar's injury, the Ravens boast a formidable tight end duo in Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, both key contributors this season. Kolar has emerged as a reliable depth option, notably shining in a previous game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Derrick Henry's strong performance helped the Baltimore Ravens secure a victory, despite not scoring a touchdown. His impressive 5.8 yards per carry contributed to multiple long drives.

In a setback for the Los Angeles Chargers, running back J.K. Dobbins suffered a knee injury, leaving his status uncertain for upcoming games. The Ravens utilized a diverse range of personnel groupings, allowing several players to contribute significantly to the offense.

In Week 11 of the NFL, several former Iowa State players made notable contributions. Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers threw for a touchdown and rushed for another, despite a narrow loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

David Montgomery shone for the Detroit Lions, scoring two touchdowns in a dominant victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Meanwhile, Breece Hall and Will McDonald IV had solid performances for the New York Jets, although the team fell to the Indianapolis Colts.
