We give you a complete National Football League preview of former Louisville football players in action for week 12 of the season.

It was an absolute disaster for the Louisville football team on Saturday, as they lost to the Kentucky Wildcats for the first time in six seasons. There are a ton of questions left to be answered after the loss and probably none more concerning than what bowl game Louisville will be playing in next month.

The good news is that we don’t have to watch that train-wreck against Kentucky ever again. Not to mention, there are other former Louisville football players in action on NFL Sunday.

Therefore, let’s get your hopes and mood up by taking a looking at the NFL preview for week 12:

Sheldon Rankins has become a huge part of the New Orleans Saints’ defensive line since returning from a leg injury a few weeks ago. He is going up against a Los Angeles Rams team that has the 1st overall pick from last year’s NFL draft in Jared Goff.

Goff made his first start for the Rams last week and lost to DeVante Parker and the Miami Dolphins. The former 1st overall pick isn’t the most mobile quarterback in the NFL, therefore Rankins could be registering another sack on Sunday.

The Saints are current 4-6 and chasing the 6-4 division leading Atlanta Falcons. They need to capitalize on every home game to try and make up ground on the dirty birds from Georgia.
