Irish in the NFL Week 9: Will Fuller and Harrison Smith Both Have Big Games
Week 9 recap:
Another week of NFL football and another big week from Will Fuller and Chase Claypool. Fuller’s name was being tossed around right before the trade deadline but he ended up not getting dealt, and he put on a show for the Texans this week with 100 yards receiving and 1 touchdown. Claypool and the Steelers snuck out from Dallas with a win and a perfect record still intact; impressively, Claypool led the team in catches with 8. Safety Harrison Smith of the Vikings had great day himself, picking off his 2nd pass of the season and adding 10 tackles on the day as well.
