Here's a preview of all of this weekend's games featuring Virginia Tech alums, plus a recap of last weekend's top performances.

N.Y. Jets at Cleveland – 8:20 pm ET
QB Tyrod Taylor and the Cleveland Browns host the N.Y. Jets on Thursday Night Football. Last week, Taylor completed 22 of 30 passes for 246 yards one touchdown and one interception. He also carried the ball four times for 26 yards. On a key fourth-down play with under 2:00 remaining in the game, Taylor connected on a perfectly-thrown ball to WR Antonio Callaway to tie the game at 18-18. But the Browns would miss the PAT in a day filled with kicking woes as Cleveland lost a hard-fought 21-18 decision.

CB Kendall Fuller and the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers.
