Warriors in the Pros: NFL Week 12

After going without a catch in his last three games, Ashley Lelie broke out against his former team with 4 catches for 92 yards and a touchdown as the Raiders beat the Broncos 31-10.
The deep-threat receiver who forced a trade out of Denver in 2006 after a bitter holdout returned to Invesco Field on Sunday and helped lead the Raiders to a stunning 31-10 win over the Broncos by catching a touchdown pass and setting up another with a spectacular 51-yard reception.
Lelie caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from JaMarcus Russell, then held his right hand to his ear to take in all the boos from the fans who once adored him.
From a CBSSports.com, here's a game recap that focuses on Lelie.
"Ever since I left, this is what I wanted to do -- to come back to Invesco and show I've still got it," Lelie said. "Come back and kind of put it to the people who didn't think I was good enough."
Okay, I guess you can say it's pretty personal with Lelie.
“I don’t even know how to explain it right now,” said Lelie, who had 168 receptions for 3,007 yards and 12 touchdowns in four years with Denver from 2002-05. “It’s kind of like getting wronged by your ex-girlfriend cheating on you and you come back at her and stab her in the back.”
Yikes!

Davone Bess had a good game with 5 catches for 87 yards in a loss to the Patriots. Here are some details from a Palm Beach Post game wrap-up.
Rookie Davone Bess, an undrafted wide receiver, has caught up to tight end Anthony Fasano on the list of Pennington's favored targets. Sunday Bess caught a pair of third-down conversion passes in the first half and nearly broke free for a touchdown on the big play that preceded Ricky Williams' scoring grab in the third quarter.
Rams linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa had seven solo and one assisted tackle in a loss to the Bears.

Travis Laboy had one assisted tackle as the Cardinals lost to the Giants.

Isaac Sopoaga had 2 solo tackles in the 49ers' loss to the Cowboys.

And Jason Elam had one 23-yard field goal and kicked 6 extra points as the Falcons beat the Panthers.
