UConn in NFL: Week 17
It was a memorable final day of the regular season for some UConn alums.
Darius Butler had a team-high eight tackles and Donald Brown had a 1-yard scoring run as the Indianapolis Colts capped a run to the AFC South title with a 30-10 win over Jacksonville.
Sio Moore had a sack as he finished fourth among rookies with 4 1/2 sacks. Kendall Reyes also had a sack as San Diego clinched a playoff spot with an overtime win over Kansas City.
Will Beatty suffered a gruesome leg injury which put a damper on the Giants' season-ending win over Washington while Danny Lansanah made his first appearance in a regular season NFL game since the 2008 season..
Here's the breakdown with not only this today's accomplishments but also season recaps including players who are on injured reserve or on practice squads. This will be the final weekly report although I will update how the former Huskies fare in the playoffs. There are four UConn products on the active rosters of playoff-bound teams (Brown and Butler, Reyes and Kansas City fullback Anthony Sherman).

FWIW, Danny Lansanah has played in several games this year... Week 17 was not his first appearance since 2008. He returned two interceptions for TDs earlier this year.
