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 eight of the NFL season.

T.J. Edwards, LB, Philadelphia Eagles

Missing the last three weeks with an Achilles injury, Edwards returned to deliver one of his finest performances as a professional on Sunday Night Football. Playing 69 defensive snaps (as well as 19 special team reps), the second-year linebacker notched 13 tackles and a 14-yard sack that forced a critical fumble that the Eagles returned 53 yards for the game-clinching touchdown in the Eagles’ 23-9 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

The overwhelming favorite for the 2020 NFL MVP as the season nears its midpoint, Russell Wilson continued to put up big numbers for the team with the best record in the NFC. Wilson went 27-for-37 for 261 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in the Seattle Seahawks 37-27 victory over the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. Also rushing for 23 yards, Wilson finished with a quarterback rating of 128.3.

Andrew Van Ginkel, LB, Miami Dolphins

Van Ginkel had just two defensive tackles, a quarterback hurry and a pass defended, but the second-year linebacker delivered the game-changing play in the second quarter. With the Los Angeles Rams driving toward a tying score, Van Ginkel. Earning the start, Van Ginkel played 46 of 95 defensive snaps and 25 special teams plays in the 28-17 victory.
