BOONE, N.C. — Veteran center Daniel Kilgore's first start for the reigning Super Bowl champions served as a highlight for App State alums in Week 6 of the NFL season.
Kilgore signed with the Kansas City Chiefs during the preseason and received wide-ranging praise for his performance as the Chiefs rushed for 245 yards on Monday in a 26-17 win against the Buffalo Bills. The win pushed Kansas City's record to 5-1.
Snapping the ball to star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Kilgore played all 73 offensive snaps, and the 245 rushing yards were the most by an Andy Reid-coached team in Kansas City.
Kilgore wrapped up his App State career in 2010 and was drafted by San Francisco. He played for the 49ers and Miami Dolphins before signing with Kansas City in late August.
Akeem Davis-Gaither, LB, Cincinnati Bengals
Davis-Gaither recorded one tackle, limiting a pass to a 1-yard gain, while playing 41 percent of the defensive snaps and 62 percent of the special teams snaps in a 31-27 loss to Indianapolis.
