Mayfield claps

Then-senior quarterback Baker Mayfield claps as he walks onto the field before the game Nov. 18, 2017.

 Paxson Haws/The Daily

There were 14 former Sooners in action on Thursday and Sunday during week 12 of the 2020 NFL season.

Here are some notable performances:

Baker Mayfield

The Cleveland Browns quarterback completed 19 of 29 passes for 258 yards and two touchdowns. He also had four rushes for 1 yard.

The two scores were enough for the Browns to hold onto a 27-25 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Sterling Shepard

The New York Giants wide receiver had seven catches for 64 yards along with one rush for 4 yards. He also had an amazing catch near the end of the fourth quarter which set his team up for a field goal.

The field goal would come up big as New York beat the Cincinnati Bengals 19-17.

Kyler Murray

The Arizona Cardinals quarterback completed 23 of 34 passes for 170 yards and one interception. Murray also rushed five times for 31 yards.

Murray and the Cardinals came up short in a 20-17 loss to the New England Patriots.

Adrian Peterson

The Detroit Lions running back had 15 carries for 55 yards and two touchdowns. With those two touchdowns Peterson now has four on the year.

Despite Peterson’s breakout performance, the Lions lost on Thanksgiving to the Houston Texans, 41-25.

Kenneth Murray

The Los Angeles Chargers linebacker had four solo tackles and five total tackles. He came up big on a tackle that caused a fumble to give the Chargers a chance to win.

Los Angeles, however, was not able to capitalize off the fumble, resulting in a 27-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Other Performances:

Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb had five catches for 21 yards along with one rush for 4 negative yards and one punt return for 9 yards.

Bengals running back Samaje Perine had one catch for 2 yards along with one kick return for 13 yards.

Bengals defensive end Amani Bledsoe had three tackles and a pass deflection.

Bengals linebacker Jordan Evans had two tackles.

Washington punter Tress Way had two punts for 117 yards and one inside the 20.

Cowboys safety Steven Parker had one tackle.

Cowboys defensive tackle Neville Gallimore had one tackle.

SF 49ers offensive lineman Trent Williams helped hold the Rams to two sacks.

Bills offensive lineman Daryl Williams helped hold the Chargers to three sacks.
