Louisville Football: Comparing Dolphins’ Parker And Steelers’ Rogers In 2016
By Derek Snyder
We take a look at former Louisville football players DeVante Parker and Eli Rogers after their match-up in the AFC Wild-Card Round.
The 2016 NFL season has seen many former Louisville football players see success. However, there were only three Cardinals that were fortunate enough to be playing in the NFL Playoffs last weekend.
William Gay and Eli Rogers squared off against DeVante Parker in the AFC Wild-Card Round on Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh. I would give you a full summary of the game, but I think I can sum it all up in one sentence.
Pittsburgh scored first, kept scoring, and the Dolphins never answered back.
Unfortunately for DeVante Parker, that means his second season in the National Football League is now over, but at least he gets to go on vacation now.
At the same time, William Gay and Eli Rogers are keeping their championship dreams alive, as they are heading to play the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday afternoon. It’s going to be a battle of two experienced teams that are extremely well-coached and have solid defenses.
