Buckeyes in the NFL
By Scott Dame

Welcome to the NFL, Dane Sanzenbacher.

The Bears rookie receiver from Toledo Central Catholic High School hauled in three passes for 33 yards and his first career touchdown on Sunday, as Chicago fell to New Orleans, 30-13.

Another former Buckeye who excelled in a losing effort was Cardinals running back Beanie Wells. Arizona lost 22-21 to Washington despite Wells carrying 14 times for 93 yards and one touchdown. It was the second rushing TD of the season for Wells, who attended Akron Garfield High School.
