Hackenberg has appeared on four rosters since the offseason -- getting traded by the Jets, who drafted him in 2016, to the Raiders, before getting waived just weeks into his new Oakland adventure. He eventually landed in Philadelphia, and then most recently Cincinnati.

Saquon Barkley eclipsed 100 totals yards for the fifth consecutive game, and DaeSean Hamilton had his first big game for Denver.
