Former University Of Idaho NFL Player Becomes Target Of MNF Brawl

There's something with people from Idaho making some major strides in the NFL. There's always one Idaho player that manages to stand out week after week. Whether they're from Idaho or they played college ball here in the state there's always something fun to look forward to with these guys in the NFL.

We've seen multiple either Idahoans or Idaho college ball players receive Player Of The Week from the NFL this season and now a former Idaho Vandal could be next to secure this. He had a great game last night and was a huge playmaker. He also unknowingly started a fight in the middle of the Monday Night Football game.

Christian Elliss, former University of Idaho linebacker, now plays for the New England Patriots. Last night's Monday Night Football game featured the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. On one hit that Elliss made he knocked the Giants quarterback, Jaxson. Dart, out of bounds. The hit was so hard that Dart went flying and the Giants didn't like that immediately going after Elliss for the hit.

The hit Elliss made was deemed legal by officials and the only one who got a penalty was the tight end who hit Elliss immedately after.

Elliss ended up having 10 tackles on the game and the New England Patriots won the game. Despite the moment where the two teams got into it Elliss still showed up and showed out having an excellent game.
