3 NFL fullbacks reminded you that they exist on Sunday

It’s not often that we see a fullback have a great afternoon statistics wise in the NFL nowadays. On Sunday though, we had a trio of fullbacks put up impressive performances that need to be recognized.

Kyle Juszczyk, Roosevelt Nix, and Patrick Ricard all showed that while fullbacks aren’t utilized nearly as much in today’s game, they can still play the game with the rest of the 21 guys on the field.

Here are our large talented sons and their best plays.

The Jimmy Garoppolo era in San Francisco is underway, and apparently it includes fullbacks.

Juszczyk, better known as “Juice” was giving the Texans hell for a minute in Houston:

One of those catches included this beauty, that some wide receivers won’t even make. Two Texans were draped over him, and he still somehow came down with the catch:

Juice finished the game with three catches for 64 yards, which was third-best on the 49ers for the afternoon in Garoppolo’s 334-yard passing game.

Nix didn’t have the biggest game, but he stole this touchdown from Ravens safety Tony Jefferson:

Earlier in the game, he made a great special teams tackle and paid tribute to Ryan Shazier, who was unable to play because of his scary injury last week against the Bengals:

The Steelers had to have late game heroics once again, but were able to sneak out the 39-38 win at home for Shazier, who would FaceTime his teammates after the game.

If there was going to be a game where we had two fullbacks getting in on the action, it had to be Ravens-Steelers, right?

This was his only catch of the game, but Patrick Ricard had a golorious rumble of a touchdown to put the Ravens up 31-20:

It was at that point where people started scratching their heads, because the (somehow) 7-5 Ravens looked like they might actually be 8-5 by the time the final whistle blew.

But of course, Antonio Brown and Chris Boswell had other plans, and the Steelers got the W.
