With the 2019 NFL regular season rolling along, here's a look at some notable performances from former Wisconsin Badgers players in Week 5.

Alex Erickson — Bengals

Bengals wide receiver Alex Erickson (above) was forced out of the game Sunday with a possible concussion before he could have much of an impact as Cincinnati fell to 0-5 on the season with a 26-23 home loss to the Arizona Cardinals. 

Erickson, who was starting the game in place of John Ross III, took the hit while trying to catch a pass on third down in the second quarter. He got up on his own and was followed off the field by trainers as he left the game and didn't return.

Melvin Gordon — Chargers

Playing in his first game of the season, Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (above) wasn't quite up to full speed as Los Angeles fell at home to the Denver Broncos, 20-13. 

After missing the Chargers' first four games while holding out amid a contract dispute, Gordon led Los Angeles in carries with 12 but only gained 31 yards on the ground.

Alec Ingold — Raiders

While Raiders fullback Alec Ingold only carried the ball once Sunday for a gain of 3 yards, it's what he did without the ball that helped push Oakland over the top in their 24-21 win over the Chicago Bears in London. 

Ingold provided a "fullback assist" by clearing the way for Oakland running back Josh Jacobs (above) to dive into the end zone from the 3-yard line for the go-ahead touchdown with less than 2 minutes remaining in the battle at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in England.

Buccaneers running back Dare Ogunbowale (above) didn't have the best day rushing the ball Sunday, losing 4 yards on his only carry, but he still managed to leave his mark on Tampa Bay's 31-24 loss at New Orleans. 

Ogunbowale's 27 yards on two catches were the second most receiving yards for Tampa Bay — trailing wide receiver Chris Godwin, who had 125 yards on seven catches.

As usual there wasn't much for Browns fans to be happy about in Cleveland's 31-3 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night, but linebacker Joe Schobert (right) was one of the few bright spots. 

Schobert had a season-high 11 solo tackles as the Cleveland defense couldn't do much on the road to slow San Francisco.

Defense wasn't the focus Sunday in a high-scoring shootout between the Falcons and Texans, but J.J. Watt (above right) made some noise with a sack of Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan (above left) as Houston won 53-32 at NRG Stadium in Texas.

In addition to the sack, Watt had two solo tackles and an assisted tackle as the Texans improved to 3-2 on the season.

Things got a little physical between Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (above right) and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (above left) on Sunday in Pittsburgh's 26-23 overtime loss to Baltimore at home. 

While Watt registered a sack on the second-year quarterback, Jackson showed his physicality by sending Watt to the ground with a stiff-arm in the first quarter.

James White — Patriots

Patriots running back James White (above) provided his usual versatility as New England rolled past Washington 33-7 on Sunday at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland. 

White had six carries for 26 yards, while also catching six passes for 46 yards with a long of 21 yards.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (above) was a model of efficiency to kick off Week 5 of the NFL season Thursday night in Seattle, helping the Seahawks edge the Los Angeles Rams 30-29 for the win at CenturyLink Field. 

Wilson completed 17 of 23 passes for 268 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions while finishing with a passer rating of 151.8. He also added 32 rushing yards on eight carries and only took one sack for a loss of 6 yards.
