With the Monday Night game being over and done it’s time to recap how the former North Carolina football players did in the second week of the NFL. In the post I will be looking at the the 1:00 p.m. EST games, of which five had a touch of carolina blue, three having former UNC players on both side lines. All the information used is a combination from UNC Pro’s and ourlads web sites, along with some stuff I gathered as well. But now, with further interruptions, let’s get going with the early games for Sunday, September 16, 2012…
