Week 10 of the NFL season featured Daniel Sorensen and Ziggy Ansah leading the way for former Cougars in the NFL. Sorensen got the opportunity to play a significant number of snaps on defense for the first time this season, filling in for the injured Tyvon Branch. Sorensen made the most of the additional playing time, picking up three tackles, a pass deflection, and unleashing a vicious hit on Denver's Emmanuel Sanders in Kansas City's big win over the Broncos.
