The most exciting part of the final week in the NFL regular season for former Brigham Young Cougars was Harvey Unga finally being active for a game. Hebron Fangupo continued to play musical chairs leaving Seattle for Pittsburgh. Brady Poppinga continued to be a solid contributor in Dallas.

Pitta caught zero passes as the Ravens lost to the Cincinnati Bengals, 23-17. The outcome of the game had no bearing on the Ravens' playoff position, so Pitta and many other Ravens starters did not play much. Despite the loss, the Ravens finished the season as AFC North Division Champions.

Season: 61 receptions, 669 yards, 7 touchdowns, 1 tackle

Brett Keisel, Pittsburgh
Just like Pitta, Keisel ended his big season with a quiet day. He made just one tackle. The Steelers won 24-10 against the Cleveland Browns, but the season is over in the Steel City as the Steelers failed to make the playoffs.

This week: 1 tackles (1 solo)
Season: 46 tackles (1 solo), 4.5 sacks, 1 TFL, 1 pass break up, 1 fumble recovery
John Denney, Miami
Denney's workload was limited this week as the Dolphins offense did not score any touchdowns. He snapped for one field goal that missed, and five punts. The final punt was 53 yards and Denney downed it at the New England 16-yard line with 6:27 to play in the fourth quarter. The Dolphins lost 28-0.

Brady Poppinga, Dallas
Poppinga continued to see the field and make the most of his opportunity in Dallas. Early in the first quarter, he had back to back tackles first and second downs that set up a 3rd and 2 that the Redskins failed to convert. Only one of his four tackles came on special teams. The Cowboys lost the game, 28-18, which eliminated them from playoff contention.

Fangupo's playing career in Seattle ended just as suddenly and abruptly as it began. The Seahawks waived Fangupo on Friday and was picked up by the Steelers the next day. He did see some playing time in the Steelers' 24-10 win over the Cleveland Browns, but recorded no stats. The move hurts Fangupo, since the Steelers did not make the playoffs, but the Seahawks did.

Harvey Unga, Chicago Bears, Running Back
After two long seasons, Unga finally got a taste of the NFL. The Bears activated him just a few days before the final game of the season. He suited up, but did not play in the Bears' 26-24 win over the Detroit Lions. Despite being 10-6, the Bears did not make the playoffs.
