#NFLU Week 2 #proCane Wrap Up

JimmyGrahamSaints
Every Tuesday we will wrap up the all the action from the previous week’s NFL action.

The Streak: Two proCanes scored (Jimmy Graham (2 TDs), Frank Gore (1 TD)) to extend the TD Streak to 8 straight weeks a proCane has scored an NFL touchdown. As reminder the record is 149 straight weeks by the Hurricanes.

Jimmy Graham, Saints: Graham caught 10 passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns. Since the start of the 2012 NFL season, no player has had more touchdowns than New Orleans’ fifth-year tight end Jimmy Graham. Graham ranks first among all NFL tight ends with 200 receiving yards through the first two games of the season.

Andre Johnson, Texans: Johnson used a six-catch, 74-yard performance against the Oakland Raiders to move past Irving Fryar for 15th place on the NFL's all-time receiving yardage list by hauling in six of his seven targets from quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. The longest gain came on Johnson's final reception of the day, a 20-yard run-and-catch on a screen pass in the 3rd quarter. Though he's yet to reach the end zone this season, Johnson is off to a promising start under new head coach Bill O'Brien, having accounted for 12 of the team's 28 receptions through two games. Now 15th on the all-time receiving yardage list with 12,828, Johnson figures to climb much higher by the end of the season. Things are bunched pretty close, with the exception of all-time leader Jerry Rice, whose 22,895 career receiving yards are far beyond the 15,934 of second-place Terrell Owens.Johnson will likely pass Steve Largent (13,089) and Andre Reed (13,189) by midseason, and the 33-year-old Texan also figures to eclipse 12th-place Torry Holt (13,382) by the end of the year.

Frank Gore, 49ers: Gore carried the ball 13 times for 63 yards, and his eight-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. The touchdown was the 61st of Gore’s career, which put him in a tie with Herschel Walker and O.J. Simpson for 43rd all-time in the category.

Calais Campbell, Cardinals: Campbell recorded the first sack of his season and 37th of his career on a takedown of Giants quarterback Eli Manning, and was one of the Cardinals top contributors against the New York running attack. Campbell led the Cardinals with 10 tackles and a sack on Sunday in their impressive victory over the Giants.

Seantrel Henderson, Bills: Henderson, who was drafted in seventh round of the year’s NFL Draft started his second straight game and did very well against the Dolphins top DE Cameron Wake.

Greg Olsen, Panthers: 8 catches, 72 yards
Matt Bosher, Falcons: 6 punts for 266 yards and a 44.3 avg with 2 punts downed inside the 20.
Pat O’Donnell, Bears: 5 punts for 238 yards and a 47.6 avg with 1 punt downed inside the 20.
