The 14th week of the NFL season saw Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Dede Westbrook find the end zone for the first time in his professional career (excluding the preseason). The former Oklahoma Sooners wide receiver and 2016 Biletnikoff Award winner finished with five receptions on eight targets for 81 yards and this score in the Jags’ big win against the Seahawks:

Anyone know what that celebration was? No, really, I’m so confused. But I loved it anyway! Dede’s teammate Aaron Colvin recorded seven solo tackles and helped the Jags improve to 9-4 on the season. Oh yeah, Colvin also got away with this egregious trip. Definitely wasn’t a flop.

Any time a Pete Carroll team loses, am I right?

Moving on, Washington’s Samaje Perine put up 45 yards on 17 carries and added four catches for seven yards in a loss to the Chargers. Stacy McGee added two solo tackles and assisted on another. Here’s Jay Gruden speaking on Samaje’s growth through his rookie season:

DeMarco Murray carried 11 times for 34 yards along with two receptions for 13 yards in the Titans loss to the Cardinals. Defensive end David King also got on the board with two solo tackles and a sack for Tennessee.

Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham caught two passes for 27 yards in the win in Arizona. Adrian Peterson did not play in Week 14.

Sterling Shepard had two receptions for 16 yards in a Giants loss to the Cowboys.

Cowboys tight end James Hanna caught a pass for 16 yards in the win.

Jordan Evans grabbed nine solo tackles and assisted on another in a Bengals loss to the Bears. Joe Mixon sat out the game with a concussion following last Monday night’s clash with the Steelers.

Buccaneers leading pass rusher Gerald McCoy suffered a biceps injury in a loss against the Lions. Unfortunately, the five-time Pro Bowler’s season is now in question due to the injury.

Linebacker Devante Bond recorded two solo tackles for the Bucs in the loss to Detroit.

Blake Bell caught two passes for seven yards in a Vikings loss to the Panthers.

Kenny Stills was in action on Monday Night Football against the Pats but was unfortunately bottled up by Malcolm Butler and the New England secondary for most of the night. Stills saw four targets and finished with 18 yards on two receptions in a shocking primetime win for the Dolphins.
