The Talmud in Nidah 61a states:
Rabbi Johanan explained: "This refers to Og who escaped the fate of the generation of the flood."
The Talmud in Zevachim 113b states:
The people in the generation of the flood sinned with hot passion, and with hot water they were punished, [If so] how could the Ark travel [at all]? Moreover, how did Og king of Bashan stand? Rather, a miracle was performed, and it [the water] was cooled at the side of the Ark.
Yes, Og did procreate with human women, and his sons were also mighty.
