>> Ka’imi Fairbairn, Texans place-kicker: He made a 40-yard field goal and three extra points but started trending on social media when he badly missed a 46-yard attempt very wide left.

>> Tua Tagovailoa, Dolphins quarterback: Threw for 110 yards and an interception before leaving Thursday’s game injured. His passer rating of 52.7 was his worst since a 40.6 against Buffalo last year, another game he left with an injury.
>> Tyson Alualu, Steelers defensive lineman: Alualu, the oldest player on the Steelers’ roster, was demoted from his starting nose tackle spot in favor of second-year man Montravius Adams. Alualu didn’t have a tackle and was whistled for defensive holding on New York’s winning drive.
