Three wide receivers from Alabama had 100-yard games in the NFL on Sunday:
Jaylen Waddle had six receptions for 110 yards and one touchdown for the Miami Dolphins.
DeVonta Smith had eight receptions for 114 yards for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Calvin Ridley had five receptions for 131 yards for the Tennessee Titans.
Only one of the 100-yard receivers came away with a win, though, and for Ridley and the Titans, their 22-21 victory over the Arizona Cardinals was their first of the season.
Ridley recorded the 17th 100-yard game of his career.
Ridley had a 47-yard reception on third-and-10 at the Tennessee 33-yard line to set up the Titans’ first touchdown with 10:26 left to play.
On Tennessee’s next possession, an 8-yard reception by Ridley had the Titans on the Arizona 20 again. When Titans quarterback Cam Ward threw for Ridley at the goal line, safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson intercepted the pass, which had been tipped by linebacker Mack Wilson. But Taylor-Demerson fumbled the football, and Tennessee wide receiver Tyler Lockett recovered in the end zone as the Titans cut the Cardinals’ lead to 21-19 with 4:39 to play.
On Tennessee’s next possession, Ridley caught a 38-yard pass to put the Titans on the Arizona 15-yard line with 26 seconds to play, setting up a game-winning field goal on the final snap.
Ridley was among the 53 former Alabama players who got on the field on the fifth Sunday of the NFL’s 106th season.
