How players with local ties played in week 12 of the NFL

Week 11 was an interesting one for NFL players from Utah. Free agent linebacker Brady Poppinga was picked up by the Dallas Cowboys. Former Utah quarterback Alex Smith, who suffered a concussion and sat out last week, was cleared to play, but the 49ers elected to start back-up Colin Kaepernick for the second week in a row, setting up a possible quarterback controversy in San Francisco.
