Sundays are starting to belong to the Badgers.

With the sustain success of Wisconsin’s football program over the last decade-plus, plenty of former Badgers athletes are getting the chance to compete at the professional level. By our unofficial count, 32 former Badgers are on either an active roster, injured reserve or practice squad of an NFL team.

Here are some of their highlights from week two of the NFL season.

Jonathan Taylor, RB, Indianapolis Colts

With starting running back Marlon Mack placed on injured reserve following Achilles surgery, the Wisconsin rookie was set to see his role in the Colts’ offense drastically increase. As he often did at Wisconsin, Taylor didn’t miss an opportunity to make an impact.

Playing 49 snaps on Sunday (67 percent), Taylor delivered his first 100-yard rushing game as a professional, finishing with 101 yards on 19 carries (3.9 yards per carry) and a touchdown. He caught two passes for nine yards.

“I played here twice in college,” Taylor told reporters, referencing two Big Ten title games. “Finally getting a win in Lucas Oil, that feels good.”

Seventy-five of his yards came as the Colts took control of the game in the first half, and his first NFL touchdown — a five-yard run early in the second quarter — started a streak of 28 straight points for the hosts.

“The plan was to feature Jonathan, and he was running hard and running good,” Colts coach Frank Reich said. “I just felt like we had good rhythm. He was seeing it well. Obviously, the line was getting movement on the line of scrimmage. Yes, the plan was to feature him and then complement as needed.”

Russell Wilson, QB, Seattle Seahawks

Wilson’s first series started with a pick-six interception, giving the Patriots an early advantage. It would be the last thing that went against the ninth-year quarterback. Going against a defense that allowed only four passing touchdowns to receivers in 2019, Wilson threw a touchdown pass to five different players, including four receivers, in a 35-30 victory over New England on Sunday night football.

Wilson finished with 288 passing yards and rushed for 39 yards on five attempts. He helped Seattle take control during a 14-point third quarter with touchdown passes of 38 and 21 yards.

Quintez Cephus, WR, Detroit Lions

Caught all three targets for 54 yards, including a long of 36, in Cephus’ return to Wisconsin, losing at Green Bay Sunday. The rookie played on 39 of Detroit’s 59 offensive snaps and eight snaps on special teams.

Jack Cichy, LB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Erickson played eight snaps on offense and fair caught one punt in the Bengals’ loss to Cleveland on Thursday night.

Melvin Gordon, RB, Denver Broncos

Starting at tailback, Gordon led the Broncos in rushing in their loss at Pittsburgh, finishing with 70 yards on 19 carries. Gordon also caught two passes for 14 yards, including a 16-yard fourth-quarter touchdown, by playing on 61 of Denver’s 77 snaps.
