Utes in the NFL: Smiths help end Chiefs skid; Smith Sr. rates refs two stars on 'Yelp'

Wrapping up how Utah's players on active NFL rosters performed in Week Seven.

Minnesota running back MATT ASIATA • Asiata played through a rib injury and caught two passes for five yards in 16 offensive snaps as the Vikings beat the Lions 28-19. Head coach Mike Zimmer said this week that Asiata remains valuable despite a dramatic reduction in playing time since Adrian Peterson's return: "When he's in, he usually has positive yards when he's rushing. That's the biggest thing."

Jacksonville guard ZANE BEADLES • Beadles played in his 87th straight game and made his 82nd straight start in the Jaguars' second victory this season, ending their four-game skid against the Bills at London's Wembley Stadium.
