It was a bit of a slow week for Cougar Alumni in the NFL with Ziggy Ansah being held to his least productive performance of the season. Fortunately Uani 'Unga had another solid performance for the Giants with seven tackles and a forced fumble in New York's 7-27 loss to the Eagles. 'Unga now leads the Giants in tackles, interceptions, and forced fumbles.
