Raleigh, N.C. - Week 6 of the NFL season had a former Pack QB going up against two former teammates on defense and Torry Holt having another big day receiving. Here are some of the standout performances from former NC State football players in Week 6:
• Philip Rivers had a career day, and it came at the expense of two former Wolfpack teammates. Rivers completed 29-of-39 passes for 334 yards and two touchdowns, his first career 300 yard passing game. San Diego downed San Francisco in a rout, 48-19. Rivers was going against Manny Lawson and Marcus Hudson, with Lawson recording two tackles.
• Torry Holt also had a career day, nearly helping the Rams defeat Seattle.Holt finished with eight catches for 154 yards and a career-high three touchdowns. His final score was a spectacular one, a juggling 67-yarder with just 1:54 to play. But the Seahawks responded with a last second field goal for the 30-28 win.
• Torry’s brother Terrence Holt recorded his first interception of the season and helped the Detroit Lions to their first win of the season, 20-17 over Buffalo.
