As the Ohio State Buckeyes enter the week against the Northwestern Wildcats, it is fun to sit back and watch how former Ohio State players wreck it in the National Football League. We are incredibly blessed to be Buckeye fans because there are so many talented players that we enjoy on Thursday, Sunday and Monday after watching current Ohio State players on Saturday.
The list of former Buckeyes is so large we have to split this list into offense and defense. Here are the former offensive Ohio State football players who made a splash during Week 8 of the NFL. Some of these names have been on this before, but some may surprise you.
Justin Fields, Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears were defeated by the Dallas Cowboys, 49-29, and Justin Fields completed 17 of his 23 passing attempts for 151 yards and two touchdowns. Fields also added another 60 yards on the ground and one touchdown.

It feels like Parris Campbell is going to take one of these types of plays to the house soon. He's looking more explosive as the season has progressed. pic.twitter.com/bzwWnsuh03
