Read on for a look at how the pro ‘Canes fared in week three of the NFL season.

* Cleveland Browns rookie WR Travis Benjamin scored a touchdown on a 22-yard strike from QB Brandon Weeden.  Benjamin caught two passes for 44 yards and one touchdown.  Not too shabby.

* San Francisco RB Frank Gore only managed 63 yards on 12 carries vs. the Minnesota Vikings.

* Saints TE Jimmy Graham scored on a one-yard pass from QB Drew Brees.

* Redskins WR Santana Moss scored on a three-yard pass and fellow WR Leonard Hankerson had four receptions for 56 yards.

* Texans WR Andre Johnson hooked up with QB Matt Schaub on a 60-yard touchdown pass due to a blown coverage.  Johnson finished the game with just 2 receptions for 72 yards and one touchdown.  In the same game, Denver Broncos RB Willis McGahee was held to 36 rushing yards on 12 carries.

* Oakland TE Richard Gordon caught a one-yard touchdown pass from QB Carson Palmer.

* In Monday’s Green Bay vs. Seattle game, the ‘Canes will be represented by CB Sam Shields who is slowly coming back to form.
