UC Bearcats In The NFL: Final Week Of The Regular Season
By Chris Bains
This was it! The last week of the regular season. Some Bearcats are on their way to the playoffs while others are just padding stats in their final game of the season. Unfortunately, this resulted in quiet games from the likes of New York Jets wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins but others such as Derek Wolfe rise to the opportunity.
Kevin Huber: Cincinnati’s punter had quite a bit of run on Sunday in their relatively defensive struggle against the Baltimore Ravens. Huber averaged 43.3 yards per punt, landed three inside the 20-yard line, with a long of 53.
John Hughes: Cleveland’s rotational defensive tackle notched a pair of tackles on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Brent Celek: Philly’s last game of the season saw the Eagles’ tight end catch two passes for 38 yards.
Connor Barwin: The Eagles’ hybrid defensive end/linebacker finished out 2015 with a two tackle, one sack performance. His seventh take down of the quarterback in the backfield elevated Barwin to second on the team in sacks, behind only Fletcher Cox.
Travis Kelce: A very unusually quiet game from Kansas City’s tight end, as he was targeted just twice in the passing game, hauling in one of them for 20 yards.
Derek Wolfe: Another workman’s like performance from Denver’s interior lineman. Wolfe compiled three tackles, including two behind the line of scrimmage, and a sack of Philip Rivers.
