PENN STATERS IN THE NFL Another big week for former Nittany Lions

First Posted:

Week 9 in the NFL was another good week for former Penn Staters.

Cameron Wake won a game for the Miami. Tamba Hali was involved in a game-changing play for Kansas City.

And, of course, Matt McGloin saw his first action in the NFL for the Raiders.

Wake had five solo tackles and three sacks in Miami’s 22-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in overtime Thursday. The Miami linebacker also forced and recovered a fumble on one of his sacks.

His biggest play, however, came in overtime when he sacked Bengal quaterback Andy Dalton for a game-winning safety.

Hali returned a Buffalo Bills fumble 11 yards for the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter as the Chiefs defeated the Bills, 23-13, to remain unbeaten. The Kansas City linebacker also was credited with four tackles (two solo).

McGloin came into the game when Raider quarterback Terrelle Pryor was injured in the fourth quarter of Oakland’s 49-20 loss.

The West Scranton graduate played two series, going 7 of 15 for 87 yards. Announcers Chris Myers and Tim Ryan praised McGloin’s arm strength several times, crediting McGloin with having a “big-time arm.”

However, Myers did refer to McGloin as “Mike McGloin” at one point.

Here’s how other former Penn Staters fared in Week 9.

• Dolphins lineman Jared Odrick had half a sack and assisted on a tackle. Bengal defensive tackle Devon Still was inactive.
