It was a big Week 7 for former Big Ten football players in the NFL.
Leading the way were two Jaguars, who scored their first career touchdowns to help guide Jacksonville to its first win of the season.
Former Michigan QB Denard Robinson, now a running back, ran for a career-high 127 yards and a touchdown in his first start, while former Penn State WR Allen Robinson caught four passes for 60 yards and a score.
The news wasn't as positive for another Jacksonville player and former Big Ten star, Paul Posluszny, who tore a pectoral muscle and will miss the rest of the season.
