Buckeyes in the NFL
By Scott Dame

The Rams defense has linebacker James Laurinaitis and not much else.

St. Louis fell to 2-10 after being shut out 26-0 by San Francisco on Sunday, despite the 12-tackle, one-sack effort by Laurinaitis.

Laurinaitis, who played at Wayzata (Minnesota) High School, has 102 total tackles to lead the Rams and rank tied for seventh in the NFL.

Another double-digit tackler on another disappointing team is Eagles strong safety Kurt Coleman.

Coleman had 11 tackles during Philadelphia’s 31-14 loss to the Seahawks Thursday night. Coleman’s 68 total tackles rank second on the 4-8 Eagles behind Jamar Chaney’s 80.

Coleman played his high school ball at Northmont High School in Clayton, Ohio.

Laurinaitis and Coleman are your top Buckeyes in the NFL in Week 13.

Below is a complete list of all former Buckeyes who play in the NFL and their Week 13 stats.
