BERKELEY – Jared Goff continued his tremendous sophomore NFL season while Keenan Allen had a second consecutive standout game to highlight the performances by former Cal players in Week 12 of the National Football League.
Goff completed 28-of-43 passes for 354 yards with two touchdowns and one interception to lead the Los Angeles Rams to a 26-26 home victory over the New Orleans Saints in a showdown between a pair of Division leaders at the Los Angeles Coliseum on Sunday. The win kept Goff and the Rams one game ahead of Seattle in the NFC West with a December 17 contest between the teams in Seattle looming. Goff is among the NFL's passing leaders in several categories and is 36 passing awards away from a 3000-yard campaign. 

Allen has played a huge role in the resurgence of the Los Angeles Chargers, who are one game behind first-place Kansas City in the AFC West despite an 0-4 start. Los Angeles has won five of its last seven games including two in a row with Allen combining for 23 receptions, 331 yards receiving and three TD catches in the victories over Buffalo and most recently on Thanksgiving Day at Dallas when he hauled in 11 catches for a career-high 172 yards receiving and one score.

Six former Cal players are on teams that currently have at least a share of a Division title with Goff joined by Tyson Alualu (Pittsburgh Steelers, 9-2, AFC North), Cameron Jordan (New Orleans Saints, 8-3, NFC South co-leaders), Mychal Kendricks (Philadelphia Eagles, NFC East, 10-1), Brian Schwenke (Tennessee Titans, 7-4, AFC South co-leaders) and Mitchell Schwartz (Kansas City Chiefs, AFC West, 6-5). The Eagles have the league's best record and can become the first and only team to clinch a playoff berth in Week 13. A Philadelphia win or tie at Seattle on Sunday Night or a Dallas loss or tie to Washington on Thursday evening would give the Eagles the NFC East title.

Cal began the season ranked second in the Pac-12 and tied for 13th nationally with 32 former Golden Bears representing Cal as players on the NFL teams when the league's 2017 season opened. The current list includes 31 players on active 53-man NFL rosters and three others who are members of practice squads. Three more former Cal players are coaching in the NFL.

Below is a list of all 37 former players currently representing Cal in the NFL on active rosters, practice squads or as coaches with links to their NFL.com player pages, along with notes and stats from their most recent Week 11 games and 2017 seasons in addition to their upcoming Week 12 schedules.
