Knile Davis provided the knockout blow in Kansas City's 34-7 win over the St. Louis Rams.

With the Chiefs winning by only three points, Davis fielded the second-half kickoff at the 1-yard line and returned it 99 yards for a touchdown to put them up by 10.

He also tacked on a three-yard rushing touchdown, his fourth of the season, midway through the fourth quarter and finished the game with 49 yards on 16 carries.

While his offensive production has dropped since Jamaal Charles returned from his injury, Davis has continued to be one of the NFL's most explosive kickoff returners. His 28.2 yards per kickoff return ranks fourth in the league.

Peyton Hillis did not play in Week 8 because the New York Giants had a bye, but here is a look at the other 13 former Arkansas players on NFL 53-man rosters performed.

Alvin Bailey - Seattle Seahawks

Bailey received the most significant playing time in his career in the Seahawks' 13-9 win over the Carolina Panthers, playing 21 offensive snaps and three special teams snaps. He saw action as a tight end/sixth offensive lineman, right guard and left guard.

Jerry Franklin - Kansas City Chiefs

Franklin made one solo tackle in the Chiefs' 34-7 win over the St. Louis Rams.

Nate Garner - Miami Dolphins

When Daryn Colledge left the Dolphins' 27-13 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars with an injury, Garner filled in until he suffered an injury of his own. The injury does not seem serious and he could continue filling in at right guard if Colledge cannot play.

Brett Goode - Green Bay Packers

The Packers made three field goals and two extra points in their 44-23 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Goode was the long snapper for all five kicks.

Chris Gragg - Buffalo Bills

Although Gragg did not register any stats in the Bills' 43-23 win over the New York Jets, he played more snaps (37) than the other two tight ends used by Buffalo.

Ryan Mallett - Houston Texans

Mallett did not play in the Texans' 30-16 win over the Tennessee Titans. While Houston won the game, starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick completed only 19 of 35 passes (54.3 percent) and had a Total QBR of 38.0.

Darren McFadden - Oakland Raiders

With the Raiders trailing by just three points, McFadden fumbled at the Cleveland 20-yard line and it was recovered by the Browns. The Browns needed only a few plays to get into the end zone after the fumble recovery and won 23-13. McFadden finished the game with 59 yards on 12 carries and 26 yards on four receptions.

Jason Peters - Philadelphia Eagles

Peters struggled in the Eagles' 24-20 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, drawing two flags: illegal hands to the face and false start.

Kiero Small - Cleveland Browns

Making his first career appearance in an NFL game, Small played 25 of the Browns' 56 offensive snaps in their 23-13 win over the Oakland Raiders.

Chris Smith - Jacksonville Jaguars

Smith did not register any stats, but played 11 snaps in the Jaguars' 27-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Travis Swanson - Detroit Lions

Swanson continues to see the field on offense only as a sixth offensive lineman. He had 10 such snaps in the Lions' 22-21 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He also played eight special teams snaps.

George Wilson - Tennessee Titans

Wilson made three tackles, including one solo, in the Titans' 30-16 loss to the Houston Texans.

Jarius Wright - Minnesota Vikings

Wright caught two passes for 13 yards in the Vikings' 19-13 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
