Wrapping up how Utah's players on active NFL rosters performed in Week Eleven:
Minnesota running back Matt Asiata • Asiata had three catches for 12 yards and one carry for 2 yards in the Vikings' 21-13 loss to the Bears.
Jacksonville offensive lineman Zane Beadles • The Jaguars are on a bye.
Oakland guard Tony Bergstrom • Bergstrom was ruled inactive for the Raiders' 13-6 loss to the Chargers.
Cleveland outside linebacker Paul Kruger • Kruger nearly had an interception and finished with five tackles, but the Browns fell flat at home in a 23-7 loss to the Texans. Afterward, Kruger told ESPN that it's "not who we are," and blamed the team's mental approach.
Carolina defensive tackle Star Lotulelei • Lotulelei missed Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Falcons with an ankle injury.
Pittsburgh cornerback Brice McCain • The Steelers play the Titans on Monday night.
Oakland cornerback Keith McGill • McGill did not record any stats.
Miami linebacker Koa Misi • Playing through an ankle injury again, Misi made four stops and was credited with a quarterback hit in the Dolphins' 22-9 victory against the Bills on Thursday night.
San Diego defensive tackle Tenny Palepoi • Palepoi did not record any stats, but entered the game in place of nose tackle Ryan Carrethers after Carrethers injured his elbow.
New York Jets outside linebacker Trevor Reilly • The Jets are on a bye. Click here to listen to his weekly "Big Show" appearance.
Miami defensive end Derrick Shelby • After giving props to Nate Orchard on Twitter ("Nate is better than all of us"), Shelby made three tackles.
New England defensive tackle Sealver Siliga • Siliga is eligible to return from the short-term injured reserve next week against Detroit, but has reportedly not begun practicing, despite being eligible.
Kansas City cornerback Sean Smith • Smith had two tackles and two pass deflections in the Chiefs' 24-20 win against the defending champion Seahawks. Seattle receiver Doug Baldwin felt Smith pushed him on a crucial fourth-quarter throw to the back of the end zone, he told ESPN, but the play stood, and Smith had another fourth-quarter breakup on a throw to Paul Richardson (a great shot of which you can see here).
Kansas City quarterback Alex Smith • Make it one interception in nine games for Smith, who finished just 11-for-16 for 108 yards. Watch Smith's postgame press conference here. Earlier in the week, The New York Times took a deeper look at Kansas City's "play it safe" approach.
Baltimore wideout Steve Smith Sr. • The Ravens are on a bye, and Smith told Jim Rome that he would take a bye week vacation with the money due to him for his Carolina release. Ravens offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak also told NFL.com that he's unconcerned about a dip in Smith's production.
Atlanta defensive tackle Paul Soliai • Soliai recorded three tackles. Earlier in the week, Soliai talked to ESPN about the pressure of meeting the expectations that come with his contract while being double-teamed.
San Diego safety Eric Weddle • Weddle recorded four tackles and a pass deflection. He spoke afterward about the joy of winning after three-game losing skid.
