There’s no denying that week 2 in the NFL was just as entertaining as week 1, if not more so. Whether it be the goal-line stand by the Seahawks to beat the Patriots or the Cowboys’ incredible comeback over the Falcons, week two was nothing short of amazing.
Football season has seemed to prove so far that it was worth the wait. It was a rough spring and summer without football, but so far, it has more than lived up the anticipation.
There were plenty of former Alabama players shined over the weekend as well, both on offense and defense.

Here are the top 5 performances from Alabama players in the NFL from week 2:
5. Derrick Henry, RB, Tennessee Titans
