SALT LAKE CITY — Week 14 of the NFL season has come and gone and this week, included one local breaking out and two other locals making the biggest plays of the game for their respective teams:

Tim Patrick (Utah)

Patrick had a breakout game for the Denver Broncos Sunday. He led the team in targets, receptions, receiving yards and average yards per catch. He ended up finishing the game with seven reception on 10 targets for 85 yards, and averaged 12.1 yards per catch. He also had a rush for 11 yards, putting him at 96 total yards in the Broncos' loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Bobby Wagner (Utah State)

Wagner had another incredible game as the Seattle Seahawks defense almost single-handedly won the game on Monday Night Football. Wagner’s biggest play of the game came with 5:46 left in the fourth quarter as the Seahawks led 6-0. The Minnesota Vikings were lining up to make it a 3-point game with a field goal, and Wagner sprung over the line and blocked the field goal. This essentially ended any hopes the Vikings had of winning the game and the Seahawks went on to win 21-7. Wagner also had nine tackles in the win.

Taysom Hill (BYU)

Hill continues to contribute wherever the New Orleans Saints need him. Midway through the third quarter, the Saints found themselves down 14-3 with nothing going their way. This is when Hill came up with potentially the biggest play of the game for the Saints. He rushed up the middle and blocked a Tampa Bay punt. This provided the spark needed and the Saints went on to win the game 28-14.

There were many other contributions from locals this week as well.
