• Santonio Holmes (WR) PIT

  Updated 11/30/09 4:10 PM

  Holmes had six receptions for 74 yards and a TD, his first since the season opener, in Pittsburgh's 20-17 overtime loss to Baltimore on Sunday night.

  Impacts: Holmes is ninth in the league in receiving yards with 838, but he hasn't been able to get many touches near the end zone. His two TD receptions are the fewest among the top 25 players in receiving yards.

  Updated 11/30/09 4:10 PM

  Clayton had season highs of seven receptions for 129 yards in Sunday night's 20-17 overtime win over the Steelers.

  In his first career start, a 20-17 overtime loss to Baltimore on Sunday night, Dixon ran for a 24-yard score and completed 12 of 26 passes for 145 yards with a touchdown, but his interception in overtime set up Billy Cundiff's game-winning field goal.

  Impacts: Dixon started because Ben Roethlisberger was sidelined with a concussion and backup Charlie Batch had a broken left wrist. Dixon had thrown only one pass in two seasons before getting the nod against the Ravens.

• Rashard Mendenhall (RB) PIT

  Updated 11/30/09 3:50 PM

  Mendenhall rushed for 95 yards on 24 carries in Pittsburgh's 20-17 overtime loss to Baltimore on Sunday night.

  Impacts: Since being named the starter prior to Pittsburgh's game against San Diego on Oct. 4, Mendenhall has rushed for 739 yards, fifth-best in the NFL in that span. The Steelers host Oakland on Sunday, and the Raiders are 31st in the league in rushing defense, allowing an average of 161.1 yards per game.

• Kenny Britt (WR) TEN

  Updated 11/30/09 3:50 PM

  Updated 11/30/09 3:50 PM

  Young completed a 10-yard pass to Kenny Britt at the back of the end zone as time expired to cap the Tennessee Titans' stunning rally to a 20-17 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

  Impacts: Young threw for a career-high 387 yards and converted three fourth downs on the final drive. Young has won nine straight starts, including the past five since he replaced Kerry Collins, and now is 23-11 as a starter. But this easily was his most impressive game since 2006 when he was the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year.
