Georgia Bulldogs made some great plays in the NFL once again this week. With several NFL teams having bye weeks, there were fewer chances for Dawgs to make plays. Matthew Stafford was out for the first time in years, so one of the biggest play-makers from UGA didn’t suit up. Still, Jordan Jenkins, Nick Chubb, and Mecole Hardman had game-changing plays for their teams.

The New York Jets won against the Giants in a battle of New York teams. Former UGA linebacker Jordan Jenkins was a standout with two sacks:

Georgia’s Nick Chubb played excellent for the Browns. Many were concerned about the return of Kareem Hunt impacting Chubb’s role in the Cleveland offense, but Chubb managed to power his way to over one hundred yards rushing. Chubb carried Buffalo Bills defenders with him on his best run of the afternoon:

The best play of the week has to go to Mecole Hardman. Although it was in losing effort for the Chiefs, Hardman showed off his 4.3 speed on this insane touchdown:

Twitter reacts to Chiefs’ WR Mecole Hardman’s 63 yard TD

Mecole Hardman Jr. scores his 5th TD of the Chiefs’ NFL season and twitter reacts to the rookie’s speed.

Mecole Hardman Jr. is starting to become a NFL Sunday household name.

The rookie wide receiver out of Georgia has been making highlight play after highlight play this season for the Kansas City Chiefs and did it yet again this Sunday.

On Sunday, Hardman caught a jump pass from Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and took it to the house for a 63 yard touchdown, leaving defenders in his dust and looking foolish.

WATCH:

Twitter started to buzz over the rookie’s wheels.

Hardman has also been putting in more work than most, showing up hours before games and hours before any other players to catch punts from the Chiefs’ assistant equipment manager.

Hardman has been nothing short of entertaining this year, and with Mahomes back after suffering a dislocated kneecap, the two have the potential to be one of the leagues top QB-WR threats.

Georgia football HC Kirby Smart updates Lawrence Cager and Trey Hill injuries

Kirby Smart briefed the press in regards to WR Lawrence Cager and C Trey Hill’s injury status, following Saturdays 27-0 win over Missouri.

With the departure of former Bulldogs receiver JJ Holloman prior to the 2019 season, there were some question marks surrounding the team on who would be Fromm’s new favorite receiver.ย  Enter Lawrence Cager, the senior wide receiver out of Baltimore, Maryland who has fit in just perfectly to that roll.

Cager, who has established himself as the Dawgs #1 wide receiver option this season, aggravated his shoulder in the second quarter of last weeks game against Missouri, and would not return.

Along with the Cager injury came an injury to center Trey Hill, who suffered a ankle sprain in the first quarter of the game.ย  Hill would also not return to the game.

In Kirby Smart’s Monday press conference he was asked about the health of both Cager and Hill.

โ€œWeโ€™re expecting Lawrence to practice today,โ€ said Smart. โ€œAnd Trey has an ankle (sprain), but heโ€™s going to be able to practice today, as far as we know.”

โ€œThey are both cleared to practice.โ€

Exciting news from Coach Smart.

#5 Georgia comes into the matchup with a record of 8-1, and 5-1 in the SEC.ย  The Dawgs will secure a spot to their 3rd straight SEC Championship with a win this week over Auburn.

Cager has averaged 14.7 yards per catch and has 4 touchdowns on the year, even with missing some time.ย  Kirby Smart will need to manage these injuries very closely if he wants Cager and Hill to help him beat the #13 Auburn Tigers this Saturday.

A full injury update will come later in the week, including updates on the status of both Cager and Hill.

SEC announces kickoff time for Georgia football game vs Texas A&M

The SEC announced the kickoff time, TV station for the Georgia football game vs Texas A&M.

On Monday morning, the SEC Twitter account posted kickoff times and television stations for the games on Saturday, November 23rd.

Georgia’s home game that day vs Texas A&M will kickoff at 3:30 and air on CBS, making it the fourth time this season that the Bulldogs will be featured on the SEC on CBS.

Most recently, Georgia vs Florida was in that slot, and this weekend against Auburn the Dawgs will occupy the same spot.

CBS used its lone primetime slot earlier in the season on Georgia when it hosted Notre Dame.

If Georgia beats Auburn this weekend, the Texas A&M game will be a huge one for the Dawgs, with only one regular season matchup to go before playing LSU in the SEC Championship.

The Aggies host South Carolina this weekend and are currently sitting at 6-3, which includes a three game winning streak.
