The safety position next to Smith is much less stable, with a group of rotating players that includes former Irish cornerback Robert Blanton, last year's starter. But after moving around so much early in his collegiate career, Smith has become a mainstay at the game's highest level. NFL NOTES For games played Oct. 8‑12 • Jacksonville Jaguars safety Sergio Brown (2006‑09) recorded two tackles in a 38‑31 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. • Denver Broncos safety David Bruton (2005‑08) notched one tackle and one pass deflection in a 16‑10 win over the Oakland Raiders. • Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert (2009‑12) caught eight passes for 90 yards and two touch‑ downs in a 27‑24 overtime victory over the Seattle Seahawks. He has five scores in as many games. • Tennessee Titans tight end Anthony Fasano (2002‑05) played in a 14‑13 loss to the Buffalo Bills, but did not record any statistics. • Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Floyd (2008‑11) caught one pass for 15 yards in a 42‑17 win over the Detroit Lions. • Lions wide receiver TJ Jones (2010‑13) registered one reception for 11 yards in the 25‑point defeat to the Cardinals. He has returned six punts for a total of 59 yards (9.8 yards per attempt) in three games. • Baltimore Ravens defensive end Kapron Lewis‑ Moore (2008‑12) played in a 33‑30 overtime loss to the Cleveland Browns, but did not record any statistics. • Cardinals tight end Troy Niklas (2011‑13) ap‑ peared in his team's 42‑17 demolition of the Lions, but did not record any statistics for the fifth straight game. • Lions running back Theo Riddick (2009‑12) caught 10 passes for 53 yards and one touchdown in the loss to the Cardinals. • Lions wide receiver Golden Tate (2007‑09) con‑ tributed eight receptions for 74 yards, but lost a fumble, in the loss to the Cardinals. • San Diego Chargers linebacker Manti Te'o (2009‑12) recorded eight tackles in a 24‑20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

According to NFL.com, the organization fears it is a torn pectoral. • Steelers defensive end Stephon Tuitt (2011‑13) recorded four tackles in the last‑second triumph over the Chargers. • San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Ian Wil‑ liams (2007‑10) notched four tackles in a 30‑27 loss to the New York Giants. • Buffalo Bills running back Cierre Wood (2009‑12) was placed on injured reserve after suffering a sea‑ son‑ending knee injury in a 14‑13 win over the Ten‑ nessee Titans.
