Here’s how NFL players from Idaho colleges and high schools fared during Sunday’s conference championship games:

▪ Denver FS Shiloh Keo (No. 33, Idaho) had three solo tackles in the final 10 minutes against New England as a backup for the injured Darian Stewart. He was flagged for a helmet-to-helmet hit on his first tackle, but he also recovered the Patriots’ onside kick with 12 seconds left.

▪ Denver C Matt Paradis (No. 61, Council High/Boise State) made his 18th consecutive start.

▪ Arizona LG Mike Iupati (No. 76, Idaho) made his 15th straight start in a loss to Carolina.
