Josh Mettellus is having himself quite a game!

Something about those Wolverine 6th Round Draft Picks... 

8 tackles, a sack, another qb hit, and a forced fumble that the refs missed. On about 3 occasions, Aikman has spoken of Mettellus having a great year! Go Blue!

Yeah, I think that knee injury has been tough to come back from. It may have seriously affected his entire athletic psyche. And, I think they had him playing out of position as an inside backer in a 3-4. Here, he was solid sideline to sideline, and downhill middle linebacker. If he had gone to team that runs a 4-3, he would have acclimated more easily.

Just knocked the ball out from Fields

Edit: he’s put on a TON of muscle, looks like. Dude always brought the pain, but the way he’s been hitting this game has been really punishing

Justin Fields is really paying for Buckeye sins the past two weeks.  Hutchinson strip sack safety, Metellus lighting him up.  

Stroud's getting a pass (pun intended) since he lost twice to us, and was pretty transparent about thinking of OSU as nothing more than a stepping stone to the pros.

While I'm glad Josh Mettellus had a really good game, I'm even more glad to see that the Vikings lost.  It put a bit more distance between Detroit and Minnesota in the division standings.

I don't watch a lot of NFL as I spend A LOT of time on college FB.  I did see Mettellus in some highlights earlier this year though for another interception and a big tackle.  Good to see him doing well.
