It was a tough week for teams with former Cyclones this weekend, as just two – Dom Orange and Enyi Uwazurike – were able to enjoy wins. Jaylin Noel and Xavier Hutchinson continue to stand out in the Houston passing game, while a few more Cyclones went down with injury.
Five Cyclones will be on bye this week, while Darien Porter and the Raiders will take on the quartet of Cyclones with the Jets. Orange and the Vikings will take on Detroit in a pivotal NFC North matchup, while T.J. Tampa's Ravens face Buffalo in an AFC showdown.
