CASPER, Wyo. — The University of Wyoming has produced several NFL players currently making an impact. Here’s how they did in the most recent week’s slate of games.

Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills

Allen was explosive for the Bills on Sunday, and Buffalo survived its playoff opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars 27–24.

Allen accounted for three of his team’s four touchdowns, two coming on the ground and the third coming by way of the pass. He threw for 273 yards on 80% efficiency, also picking up 33 yards via the rushing game.

Allen and the Bills have advanced past the Wild Card round of the playoffs every year since 2020.

In the divisional round, the Bills will face the top seed in the AFC, the Denver Broncos.

Frank Crum, Denver Broncos

Crum and the Broncos were off last week, as they earned a bye in the playoffs as the top AFC seed.

Crum will take the field against the Buffalo Bills and reigning MVP and fellow UW alum Josh Allen in the divisional round.

Marcus Epps, Philadelphia Eagles

Epps had a respectable day for the Eagles, though the team ultimately fell 23–19 to the San Francisco 49ers, marking the end of their season.

Epps had a trio of tackles for the Eagles’ secondary unit in the loss.

The former Wyoming Cowboy finishes the year with 24 tackles, including one for a loss.

Chad Muma, New England Patriots

The New England Patriots easily handled their Wild Card opponents, beating the Los Angeles Chargers 16–3. However, Muma had little impact on the result in limited playing time.

In the victory, Muma failed to record a statistic. He only took the field for 13 special teams snaps and did not play a defensive down.

The Patriots will move on to face the Houston Texans in the next round of the playoffs.

Karly Davis has signed a written offer of athletic aid, to play basketball for the University of Wyoming Cowgirls.

So far this season, she is averaging 19.5 points per game, which is 4th in Class 3A and 8th in all classes of Wyoming High School Girls Basketball.

Her average is up 1 point per game from last year.

Davis explains what she thinks it was that Cowgirl Head Coach Heather Ezell and the UW Coaching Staff saw in her that made them try to recruit her.

“I’m definitely a competitor. I think I show that a lot in my game, and I think I can shoot the ball pretty well, so I think that’s kind of what they sparked interest in me with.”

Davis adds she plans to major in elementary education.
