Nittany Lions In The NFL: Week 11 Roundup
Penn State took care of business this weekend by beating Rutgers 27-6 in Beaver Stadium on Saturday. On Sunday, a group of Penn State football alumni took care of business in the NFL, too. Here’s how these pros performed in their matchups this week in the league.
