Cleveland Browns cornerback Myles Harden recorded a career-high two sacks and five tackles during Sunday’s 23-22 overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints.
Despite his defensive production, which also included two passes defensed, the Browns fell short after opting to attempt a two-point conversion for the win rather than kicking an extra point to tie the game in overtime, Sioux Falls Live reported.
Several other players with South Dakota ties saw action across the league during Week 9. Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft recorded one catch for one yard in a win over the New England Patriots, while his teammate Pierre Strong rushed for 22 yards on eight carries and added 11 yards on two receptions.
Seattle Seahawks offensive guard Grey Zabel played all 67 offensive snaps during his team’s victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
In other games, Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught five passes for 50 yards in a loss to the New York Giants, and Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jack Cochrane recorded two tackles in a win against the New York Jets.
