How Pro Ducks performed in Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season
The Buccaneers relied solely on Bucky Irving on the ground to get a win, headlining the performances for Pro Ducks in the NFL in Week 8.
Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season saw several former Oregon Ducks make notable plays on the pro level. Bucky Irving, a running back, had his best game of his career during a torrential downpour while playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He rushed for a career-high 170 yards and a touchdown, contributing significantly to the Buccaneers' 16-0 victory over the Falcons.
Quarterback Bo Nix, also a former Oregon Duck, had a strong performance for the Denver Broncos. After a difficult start to the year, Nix rallied his team from a 24-13 deficit in the fourth quarter, helping the Broncos secure a 28-24 win against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Cornerback Evan Williams of the Green Bay Packers contributed significantly to his team's victory against the Panthers with 10 tackles, tying for the team lead. Quarterback Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers faced a challenging game, completing 24 of 32 passes for 257 yards but failing to score a touchdown and committing two interceptions. This continued his overall poor season, as the Chargers have struggled with a 0-7 record, throwing just five touchdowns to 10 interceptions.
