You know the deal, lots of Canes making lots of plays, and compared to last week, this past weekend saw a few more touchdowns. Here’s your Week 5 recap of ProCanes in the NFL.

RB

In a tough loss that saw the Dolphins lose their undefeated record, Frank Gore was the only player to reach the endzone as finished with a couple of catches for 16 yards and one touchdown as well as 41 yards on the ground. Bengals’ rookie RB Mark Walton finally got his first carries of his career, finishing with nine yards on five carries on the ground to go with two catches for 28 yards, but his 24-yard reception cannot be forgotten, spinning the brakes off of Texans DB Brian Poole in the flat. Walton would later leave the game to be evaluated for a possible concussion. In that same game, Texans RB Lamar Miller finished with 14 carries for 49 yards in a thrilling OT win over the Colts. Browns utility man Duke Johnson finished carried the ball two times for 11 yards and adding four catches for 45 yards.
