Eagles safety Earl Wolff leads the team's list of inactives at Dallas. Wolff re-injured his knee in last week's win over the Bears. 

Also sitting out are center Julian Vandervelde (back), safety Colt Anderson (knee), quarterback Matt Barkley, cornerback Curtis Marsh, running back Matthew Tucker and offensive lineman Dennis Kelly.

If Titans running back Chris Johnson isn't going to be returning to the team next season, as some reports have indicated, he did well to give them one last vintage performance in a Week 17 16-10 win over the Texans.

Johnson picked up just his second 100-yard game of the season in the finale, as he rushed the ball 27 times for 127 yards, his second-best performance of the year. He surpassed the 1,000-yard mark and then some in the game, and added his sixth touchdown of the season along with three receptions for 14 yards. 

Johnson finishes the year with 1,077 yards on 279 carries, leaving him with a 3.9 yards per carry average. He has now rushed for at least 1,000 yards in each of his first six seasons, though 2013 featured his worst yards per carry average yet. 

Texans running back Jonathan Grimes thrived in his first extended action in Week 17, topping 100 all-purpose yards in a 16-10 loss to the Titans.

Grimes didn't have much success running the ball, finishing with just 50 yards despite 12 carries. He shined as a receiver, however, leading the team with six receptions for 76 yards. He added his first career touchdown on a 3-yard run in the first game.

Injuries pushed Grimes into action only recently, as he appeared in just the team's final two games. 

Both Colts running backs Donald Brown and Trent Richardson managed to score Week 17.

Brown carried the ball 12 times for 31 yards. He punched in a 1 yard touchdown in the first quarter to begin the scoring. Brown also caught three passes for 4 yards. Richardson carried eight times for 25 rushing yards. He scored on a 2 yard run in the first quarter. Richardson caught two passes for 17 yards. 

Redskins running back Roy Helu ran the ball three times for 24 yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Giants. He also caught two passes for 14 yards. 

Wide receiver Aldrick Robinson was targeted 10 times, but only managed three catches for 33 yards. The 10 targets were a season-high for Robinson. 

Logan Paulsen caught four passes for 32 yards, and Santana Moss caught two passes for 13 yards. 

Washington finishes the season 3-13, and several changes to personnel and the coaching staff are expected in the offseason. 

Dolphins running back Lamar Miller received one of his heaviest workloads of the season in Week 17, with Daniel Thomas taking a backseat.

Miller rushed the ball 17 times for 73 yards, finishing with one more yard than he had in the teams' last meeting, despite five fewer carries. He added one reception for 4 yards, to finish with 16 more touches than Thomas, who finished with no yards on two carries.

The Dolphins split the carries between the two young backs this season, though neither excelled in the timeshare. Thomas finishes the season with 406 yards on the ground with six overall touchdowns, while Miller scored just twice but had 709 yards to lead the team. 

Vikings rookie receiver Cordarrelle Patterson had another big game Week 17.

Patterson flashed his big play ability early, scoring on a 50 yard run in the first quarter. He finished the day with 54 rushing yards. He was less of a threat in the passing game, finishing with just 31 receiving yards. He was clearly part of the team's game plan in the red zone. Patterson was targeted on a fade on one drive, and then scored on an 8 yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.

The Ravens ended their season with a 34-17 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. Running back Bernard Pierce had 46 total yards, including five carries for a team-high 28 rushing yards. 

Marlon Brown scored the lone receiving touchdown for the Ravens, on an eight-yard pass in the third quarter. He ended up with 30 yards in the game. Brown finishes the season with seven receiving touchdowns, the most on the team. 

The Ravens finish the season 8-8 overall, with a 3-2 record in the division. 

Vikings running back Matt Asiata had a big game on the ground Week 17.

Asiata only had 14 carries, but managed to pick up 115 yards. He averaged 8.2 yards per carry. He was not a major force at the goal line this time around, as the team chose to try and get the ball in Cordarrelle Patterson's hands when they got close. Asiata also caught two passes for -2 yards. 

The Rams ruled receiver Tavon Austin (ankle), guard Harvey Dahl, offensive tackle Mike Person, defensive end Sammy Brown, running back Daryl Richardson (thigh), cornerback Quinton Pointer and defensive tackle Matt Conrath inactive for the game at Seattle.
