Latest Notes »
Tyson Jackson KC
Tyson Jackson turned in one of his best performances of the season against the Bengals when he was credited with six tackles. That gives him 30 tackles on the season. Jackson is still seeking his first NFL sack.
Mike Brown KC
Mike Brown led the Chiefs' defense with 13 tackles against Cincinnati. That gives him 95 on the season. It's his second best tackling season in the last seven years, topped only by the 101 stops he had in the '08 season with the Bears.
Jon McGraw KC
Jon McGraw grabbed his first interception of the season when he picked off Carson Palmer's pass. That gives him five career interceptions, but this one was special because McGraw caught this ball with three pins inserted into his left thumb. He's been playing with the hand heavily wrapped and bandaged.
Chris Chambers KC
Chris Chambers got extra attention from the Bengals' secondary and caught just three passes on 10 plays where he was the target of QB Matt Cassel. Chambers produced just 34 yards on those catches. Those numbers were well short of the five catches for 114 yards the week before against Cleveland.
Dwayne Bowe KC
Dwayne Bowe in his first two seasons had 2,017 receiving yards, or an average of just over 1,000 yards per season. Bowe's numbers won't be anywhere close to that in his third season, as he has one game to play and has caught 46 passes for 583 yards. He remains the No. 1 target for QB Matt Cassel, who threw him the ball 12 times against Cincinnati, with Bowe catching nine passes. But those catches produced just 61 yards.
Ryan Succop KC
Ryan Succop has been the star of the Chiefs' draft class. Another find of kicking guru Steve Hoffman, Succop is now 22 of 26 on the season. Those 22 FGs made established a new franchise record, breaking the mark set 42 years ago by Hall of Fame kicker Jan Stenerud. Succop has made 84.6 percent of his field goals in his first season. Succop was a seventh-round pick and the final overall pick of the 2009 draft.
Joel Dreessen HOU
Joel Dreessen took advantage of the Dolphins spending so much effort trying to cover Andre Johnson that they almost forgot about the tight end. Playing with a badly bruised shoulder, Dreessen four passes for 65 yards. That's an average of 16.3 yards a game. Dreessen has been playing hurt. After games, he can be found slumped in his locker with a bandage on his shoulder.
Duane Brown HOU
LT Duane Brown didn't know if he'd be able to start against the Dolphins until game time. He didn't practice because of a sprained knee. Brown wore a brace for the first time. Because Land Shark Stadium has a grass field, Brown wanted to try it. He told the coaches if he couldn't push off, he'd let them know. He went the distance, played well and looked as if he had no knee problem at all.
John Busing HOU
John Busing has lost his starting job two times this season, but the third time could be the charm since it's the last game. He'll replace Barber. Busing is a hard hitter who's always around the ball, but he gets beat on coverage too much. He's a better strong safety.
Dominique Barber HOU
FS Dominique Barber suffered a hamstring injury against Miami and left the game. He'll go on injured reserve. They may re-sign Brian Russell for the last game against the Patriots.
Chris Myers HOU
Chris Myers played his best game of the season at Miami. The Texans ran for 126 yards and allowed only one sack. That was the fault of FB Vonta Leach.
"I thought the group up front had one of their best games," coach Gary Kubiak said. "Chris was part of that. He played real well."
Arian Foster HOU
Arian Foster carried 19 times for 97 yards (5.1-yard average) and a touchdown in the victory at Miami. Ryan Moats had 23 yards rushing but four catches for 39 yards. Expect them to play more than Chris Brown in the last game against the Patriots.
"Yeah, I think they're going to play more than Chris when it's all said and done, just from a standpoint of the job they're doing," coach Gary Kubiak said. "Arian did some very nice things, his best outing as a pro, and, hopefully, he builds off of that. He took a big step in the right direction."
Matt Schaub HOU
Matt Schaub leads the NFL with 4,467 yards passing. He has 27 touchdowns, 14 interceptions, a 68.4 completion percentage and a rating of 99.1.
"That's pretty special when you've got a leading receiver and a quarterback with the most yards," coach Gary Kubiak said. "Matt and Andre have come a long way together, and, hopefully, they'll have a chance to play together for a long time."
Andre Johnson HOU
Andre Johnson has 95 catches and 1,504 yards. He joined Marvin Harrison as the only receivers in history to have at least 1,500 yards in back-to-back seasons.
Aaron Curry SEA
LB Aaron Curry missed last week's game with a shoulder injury and will be questionable this week.
Mike Hass SEA
Mike Hass suffered a dislocated shoulder on the opening kickoff and will need surgery at the end of the year.
Josh Wilson SEA
Josh Wilson, who suffered a hip pointer on Sunday, also is questionable.
Julius Jones SEA
Julius Jones re-injured his rib and also suffered a foot injury against Green Bay. He is questionable this week.
Nate Burleson SEA
Nate Burleson, who has missed the last two games with a high ankle sprain, will likely miss the Seahawks final game on Sunday against Tennessee.
Matt Hasselbeck SEA
Matt Hasselbeck talked to coach Jim Mora on Monday, and Mora informed reporters that even Hasselbeck threw four picks for the second straight game against Green Bay, his confidence is not shaken and he's ready to take the field again.
"He's thrown eight interceptions in the last two weeks and -- you know what? He wants the next pass; 'Give me the ball again,' " Mora said. "And I appreciate that."
Joe Flacco BAL
Joe Flacco was sacked four times at Pittsburgh. He has been sacked nine times this season by the Steelers.
Jalen Parmele BAL
Jalen Parmele replaced injured Lardarius Webb as the team's kickoff returner. He averaged 29 yards on five returns, including one return of 48 yards.
Todd Heap BAL
Todd Heap caught just two passes, but both went for touchdowns. He has six touchdowns this season.
Ray Rice BAL
Ray Rice finished with a season-low one catch for 14 yards. He still leads the Ravens with 74 receptions this season.
Demetrius Williams BAL
Demetrius Williams only caught one of four passes thrown his direction. He gained 9 yards.
Jared Gaither BAL
Jared Gaither has been wearing a boot on his injured foot and toe to alleviate any pressure, and he has been improving. "He was probably close on Sunday, but he wasn't 100 percent by any stretch, and he hadn't practiced," coach John Harbaugh said. "So we thought it was better to bring Tony Moll up and have him be the backup for us."
Troy Smith BAL
Troy Smith wants to be traded, according to a statement from his agent on Twitter. "Ravens Troy Smith, Ohio State alum, native + Heisman winner wants playing time," agent Ralph Cindrich wrote Monday. "Ravens notified. Will seek trade after play offs, SB run."
Ed Reed BAL
Ed Reed missed his fourth game in a row with a groin injury. "Ed and I had a conversation," coach John Harbaugh said. "He tried to go. He didn't feel like he could go, and I didn't feel like he could go based on what he said about the workout he had."
Mike Thomas JAC
Mike Thomas caught six passes for 57 yards in New England to lead the team, but was stopped for no gain on an end around that set the stage for the ill-fated fourth and one attempt in the first quarter.
Torry Holt JAC
Torry Holt suffered a hand/finger injury in New England and his status is uncertain for the Cleveland game.
Gibril Wilson MIA
Gibril Wilson, who dropped a deflected pass that and should've been caught, was replaced by rookie Chris Clemons for long stretches.
Rashean Mathis JAC
Rashean Mathis sat out the second half of the New England game when he aggravated his groin injury and his status is uncertain this week.
Jake Grove MIA
Jake Grove got in for about 20 snaps Sunday for his first activity since the Carolina game on Nov. 19. He had been out because of an injured ankle. Joe Berger still started.
Attiyah Ellison JAC
DE Attiyah Ellison suffered a sprained knee in New England. He is on crutches and will miss the season finale in Cleveland.
Justin Smiley MIA
LG Justin Smiley, who has been hampered by shoulder ailments, sustained a knee injury in the fourth quarter and was seen limping into the Dolphins' facility Monday. He's probably out for the season.
Marcedes Lewis JAC
Marcedes Lewis suffered a cracked bone in his face in New England and will miss the season finale in Cleveland.
Ricky Williams MIA
Ricky Williams sustained a right shoulder injury in the third quarter and returned briefly. He gained 35 yards on 10 carries and has 1,090 rushing yards. He added five catches for 26 yards. If he can't go Sunday, look for Lex Hilliard to assume the rushing load and for Kory Sheets to be activated for the second time this season.
Mike Furrey CLE
S Mike Furrey started, making him an offensive player starting on defense. Furrey, normally a wide receiver, had five tackles in his first start on defense since 2006. Furrey has 12 career starts defensively, 28 on offense.
Mike Adams CLE
S Mike Adams had the first sack of his career, one of four for the Browns in the win. The four give the team 37 for the season, more than double the 17 the Browns had in 2008 and the most since the Browns had 41 in 2001.
Akin Ayodele MIA
LBs Akin Ayodele and Reggie Torbor likely will share time in the middle Sunday. Ayodele had eight tackles and a quarterback hit against the Texans.
Matt Roth CLE
LB Matt Roth has made a significant impact since being signed after Miami waived him. Roth had 1.5 sacks of Charlie Frye, and now has four sacks in the five games he's played for the Browns. His acquisition could prove to be a shrewd waiver pickup.
Brandon McDonald CLE
Brandon McDonald has had some rough games this season, but he came through with a very important interception of Charlie Frye in the fourth quarter of the win over Oakland. McDonald's pick was his first of the season.
Channing Crowder MIA
MLB Channing Crowder injured his right foot early in Sunday's game and is most likely out for the last game. He underwent an MRI exam Sunday. Crowder had 51 tackles, including a sack, this season to go with his first career interception.
Derek Anderson CLE
Derek Anderson threw for 121 yards against Oakland, making the Raiders game the first this season when a Browns quarterback topped 100 yards in a win. In the previous three victories, Anderson and Quinn had thrown for 23, 90 and 66 yards against Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Kansas City.
David Bowens CLE
LB David Bowens had an outstanding game, one-half sack, one quarterback hit, two passes defensed and an interception that set up the Browns first touchdown. Bowens has been stellar since moving inside following season-ending injuries to Eric Barton and D'Qwell Jackson. His move to inside linebacker has been seamless, and has brought some stability to the defense. Bowens' leadership also has helped the Browns. He's a calming voice of reason with a lot of positive influence.
"Once we are all on the same page and doing the same thing," Bowens said, "we are pretty good."
Jerome Harrison CLE
Jerome Harrison broke his second record in two games in the win over Oakland when he carried the ball 39 times. That broke the mark set by Lee Suggs in a game in Miami in 2004. A week earlier, Harrison had broken the Browns single-game rushing record held by Jim Brown. Harrison ran for 148 yards, making him the first Brown to follow a 200-yard game with a 100-yard game. In the two games, Harrison has totaled 434 yards and scored four touchdowns.
"This is what you live for, what you dream about," Harrison said. "It is what you practice for."
Lousaka Polite MIA
Lousaka Polite converted on a third-and-1 and a fourth-and-1 Sunday and is now 15-for-15 in those situations.
Lex Hilliard MIA
Lex Hilliard scored his first career touchdown on a handoff from rookie quarterback Pat White in the third quarter on a 2-yard run. He added touchdown No. 2 on a 10-yard pass from Chad Henne in the fourth quarter. "I think he played 43 plays, and he had one rep that was not a great rep," coach Tony Sparano said. "Ran it hard when he had the opportunity, caught it and ran it very well, made some big third-down plays, and I thought blocked extremely well. Had no mental problems. I thought Lex did a nice job, came in and stepped up really well."
Keith Null STL
Keith Null did the best he could, but still had three interceptions and a 50.0 passer rating against the Cardinals.
Leonard Little STL
Leonard Little could be available to play in the season finale, as the wound in his knee is close to being healed.
