Molokai's Kimo von Oelhoffen (Boise State) had three tackles, including his first sack of the season, and was credited with a pressure against while starting at nose tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-5) in a 23-20 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles (7-4).

Von Oelhoffen, who left the Cincinnati Bengals for a $10 million free agent contract with the Steelers, has 30 tackles this season.

Itula Mili (Kahuku, Brigham Young University) had one reception for eight yards for Seattle (4-7) in the second half of the Seahawks' 28-21 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-7).

Mili, who has 24 receptions for 216 yards and three touchdowns as a backup tight end, is having his best season in the NFL.

Chris Naeole (Kahuku, Colorado), who starts at right guard for New Orleans (7-3), helped power his surprising Saints to a 20-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers (4-6). But it was a costly win for the Saints as running back Ricky Williams suffered a broken ankle.

Defensive lineman Ma'a Tanuvasa and place-kicker Jason Elam are in action tonight for the Denver Broncos (5-4) as they host Oakland (8-1).
