Although not ranking near the top of former players in the NFL, Missouri still has multiple weekends a year where alum battle against each other.

On Sunday, in the mid-afternoon window, two divisional foes featured three former Tigers, including Nick Bolton, Kris Abrams-Draine and Tyler Badie. A sixth-year linebacker for Kansas City, Bolton notched the fourth most tackles — six total and five solo — for the Chiefs while also defending one pass in a 22-19 loss.

While stepping up in response to Pat Surtain II’s injury this season, Abrams-Draine logged four tackles, three by himself, and one defended pass. Badie returned three kickoffs for 79 total yards while not reeling in his lone target on a screen pass.

How other Tigers performed in Week 11

Through his second NFL game, Harrison Mevis still hasn’t attempted a field goal. The Los Angeles Rams kicker made all three of his extra-point attempts after nailing all six of his kicks in his NFL debut the previous Sunday. Los Angeles beat Seattle 21-19 for a fifth straight win.

Chicago wide receiver Luther Burden III logged 33 snaps Sunday in the Bears’ thrilling 19-17 win over Minnesota. The rookie reeled in three of his five targets for 27 yards, while getting tacked for one drop against the Vikings.
