THE FLATS — The NFL regular season is officially at the halfway mark, as a number of #ProJackets suited up for their respective teams in Week 9, highlighted by a season first by one former Yellow Jacket.

Tight end Darren Waller made his first catch of the season this weekend, as he hauled in two catches for 17 yards in the Balitimore Ravens’ 21-14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Demaryius Thomas extended his current streak of five catches or more to eight straight games, as he pulled in five catches for a total of 56 yards in the Denver Broncos’ 30-20 loss to the Oakland Raiders on Sunday Night Football.

Defensively, Daryl Smith had six total stops and recovered a fumble in the Buccaneers’ 43-28 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. CLICK HERE to see the fumble recovery.

Morgan Burnett picked up his second sack of the season in the Packers’ loss to the Colts, while Derrick Morgan had two stops in the Titans’ loss to the Chargers.
