Carson Wentz threw for four touchdowns as the Philadelphia Eagles claimed their seventh straight victory, highlighting the action for former North Dakota State football players in the NFL in Week 9.

Wentz leads the NFL in passing touchdowns with 23 through nine games, and he became the first player in Eagles history with 17 passing TDs over a five-game stretch.

Ninth-year linebacker Ramon Humber returned from a thumb injury to record seven tackles for the Buffalo Bills. Second-year offensive lineman Joe Haeg played every offensive snap for the Colts for the eighth straight game and did not allow a single pressure.
