Wrapping up how Utah's players on active NFL rosters performed in Week Ten:
Minnesota running back Matt Asiata • Asiata will have to wait at least one more week for his fourth career three-touchdown game. The Vikings are on a bye.
Jacksonville offensive lineman Zane Beadles • The Jaguars lost 31-17 to the Cowboys at London's Wembley Stadium. Here is his interview with Jaguars UK, which is apparently a thing. And here he successfully guesses the meaning of British terms — except "slaphead."
Oakland guard Tony Bergstrom • Bergstrom was ruled inactive for the Raiders' 41-17 loss and has not played yet this season.
Cleveland outside linebacker Paul Kruger • The Browns battered the Bengals 24-3 on Thursday night, and Kruger had two tackles, including one quarterback hit, and a pass deflection. The Plain-Dealer writes that "Commodore" Kruger "seemingly [was] everywhere."
Carolina defensive tackle Star Lotulelei • The Panthers visit the Eagles on Monday night.
Pittsburgh cornerback Brice McCain • McCain had four tackles in the Steelers' 20-13 loss to the Jets, but was most notable in this game, unfortunately for him, for the tackle he missed against New York starter Michael Vick.
Oakland cornerback Keith McGill • McGill played despite a groin injury, recording his second career tackle and first career pass deflection, coming against Peyton Manning.
Miami linebacker Koa Misi • Questionable with an ankle injury, Misi played and recorded a pass deflection, six tackles, and a tackle for a loss on a big third down for the Dolphins, who nonetheless fell 20-16 to the Lions.
San Diego defensive tackle Tenny Palepoi • The Chargers are on a bye. The team website writes that he's "made a strong impression since making the team out of training camp."
New York Jets outside linebacker Trevor Reilly • Reilly did not record any stats in the Jets win. Earlier in the week, he was typically entertaining on 1280's "The Big Show" with Gordon Monson and Spence Checketts.
Miami defensive end Derrick Shelby • Shelby recorded one tackle.
New England defensive tackle Sealver Siliga • The Patriots had a bye, and Siliga will be eligible to return from the short-term injured reserve next week in Indianapolis.
Kansas City cornerback Sean Smith • Last year Smith intercepted a pass and returned it 100 yards for a touchdown against the Bills, but this year it was enough for him to record two tackles in the Chiefs' 17-13 victory.
Kansas City quarterback Alex Smith • Call him a game manager if you want, but call him a winner also. Smith led the Chiefs to their sixth win in seven games since starting 0-2, and he's thrown just one interception in his last eight games. His line Sunday: 17-for-29 for 177 yards and four rushes for 25 yards and an 8-yard touchdown. The Kansas City Star writes about how Smith — under heavy pressure throughout the game — doled out some punishment of his own to Buffalo defensive back Aaron Williams on his scoring run.
Baltimore wideout Steve Smith Sr. • Playing something of a diminished role in the Ravens' offense the last three weeks, Smith caught three passes for 17 yards, although he was targeted seven times in the Ravens' 21-7 win over the Titans. He had at least one postgame highlight, though.
Atlanta defensive tackle Paul Soliai • Soliai recorded one tackle in the Falcons' 27-17 win. ESPN's NFL Nation blog wrote that Soliai played with "more energy and purpose up front."
San Diego safety Eric Weddle • On a bye, Weddle visited Rice-Eccles Stadium for Utah's loss to the Ducks on Saturday night.
