Wrapping up how Utah's players on active NFL rosters performed in Week Fifteen:

Minnesota running back Matt Asiata • Starting for the third straight game, Asiata rushed 11 times for 36 yards and a touchdown and caught seven passes for 50 yards in the Vikings' 16-14 loss to the Lions. He has 697 total yards for the season.

Jacksonville offensive lineman Zane Beadles • Beadles' Jaguars lost 20-12 to the Ravens in his 78th consecutive game played. Off the field, he hosted a holiday party for children undergoing cancer treatment.

Oakland guard Tony Bergstrom • Bergstrom was ruled inactive for the Raiders' 31-13 loss to the Chiefs.

Houston tight end Anthony Denham • Denham did not record any stats in the Texans' 17-10 loss to the Colts.

Cleveland wide receiver Josh Gordon (Utah scout team) • The only Browns wideout with more than 10 yards in Johnny Manziel's first-ever NFL start, Gordon caught three passes for 48 yards in a 30-0 loss to the Bengals.

Cleveland outside linebacker Paul Kruger • Kruger hit double digits with his 10th sack — breaking the career-best mark he set in 2012 with the Super Bowl champion Ravens — and had another tackle for a loss. He's the eighth Brown to reach double-digit sacks in a single season, and first since 2006.

Carolina defensive tackle Star Lotulelei • Lotulelei played more than he did prior, recovering from an ankle sprain, but did not record any stats in the Panthers' 19-17 win against the Buccaneers.

Pittsburgh cornerback Brice McCain • McCain had three tackles in the Steelers' 27-20 win against the Falcons.

Oakland cornerback Keith McGill • McGill did not record any stats.

Miami linebacker Koa Misi • Misi, who has missed time with back, ankle and hamstring problems, was inactive for the Dolphins' 41-13 loss to the Patriots.

San Diego defensive tackle Tenny Palepoi • Palepoi recorded one tackle in the Chargers' 22-10 loss to the Broncos. Earlier in the week, Palepoi talked to ESPN earlier in the week about the unexpected loss of his brother, Francis.

New York Jets outside linebacker Trevor Reilly • Reilly was listed as probable due to a concussion but did not play in the Jets' 16-11 win against the Titans.

Miami defensive end Derrick Shelby • Shelby recorded two tackles, giving him 23 for the season.

New England defensive tackle Sealver Siliga • Siliga had six tackles and a sack on Ryan Tannehill. Earlier in the week, The Boston Globe wrote about big man's upbeat attitude.

Kansas City cornerback Sean Smith • Playing through cramps, Smith had one tackle and one pass deflection, the 16th of the season.

Kansas City quarterback Alex Smith • For the second consecutive week, Smith passed for the highest yardage total of the season, 297, and finished with two touchdowns.

Baltimore wideout Steve Smith Sr. • Smith caught five passes for 37 yards. Asked if being sick affected his stamina: "You can ask my wife about my stamina."

Miami Dolphins cornerback R.J. Stanford • Stanford had one tackle in the loss.

Atlanta defensive tackle Paul Soliai • Soliai finished with two tackles and a half-sack.

San Diego safety Eric Weddle • Weddle had nine tackles. But more his most significant contribution, perhaps, was Weddle Claus.
