The Texas Tech Red Raiders got back on track in the win column with a 56-48 win over the Big 12 rival Oklahoma State Cowboys in Week 13 of the college football regular season.
Over in the NFL, as they completed Week 12, several teams had bye weeks including two former Red Raiders. But seven others were in action around the league.
Most notably, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes performed a little "Mahomes Magic" against the Panthers as he willed his team to victory while rookie Dadrion Taylor-Demerson stood out against a division opponent for the Arizona Cardinals.
Let's take a look at how former Texas Tech Red Raiders performed in the NFL in Week 12.
S Dadrion Taylor-Demerson (Arizona Cardinals) - Taylor-Demerson earned his second-straight career start and led the Cardinals in tackles with nine including three solo and one for loss, and added a pass breakup in the 16-6 loss to the Seahawks.
DL Broderick Washington Jr. (Baltimore Ravens) - Washington Jr. got his third start of the year and played 35 defensive snaps in this season's version of the "Harbaugh Bowl" in the Ravens' 30-23 win over the L.A. Chargers.
