Maurice Jones-Drew: In his teams 24-22 victory over the New York Jets, Jones-Drew rushed for 123 yards and a score on 24 carries. Jones-Drew, who became the first player to rush for 100 or more yards against the Jets this season, now has 530 yards rushing and seven TDs in his past four games. The undersized RB continues to prove that he can handle the load over an entire NFL season.
Chris Johnson: Johnson, who seems to be on top of this list nearly every week, continued his stellar play on Sunday. The speed RB rushed for 32 yards and two touchdowns. However, most amazing of all, is that Johnson caught nine passes for 100 more yards as he once again displayed his evolving game.
Reggie Wayne: In a shocking game that I cannot seem to get out of my mind, Wayne finished with 10 catches for 126 yards and two TDs. In addition to his outstanding performance, the consistent WR also delivered the final blow in the Indianapolis Colts stunning 35-34 victory over the Patriots with a 1-yard TD catch with 13 seconds left.
Sidney Rice: Perhaps the individual that is benefiting over the Brett Farve signing the most is Rice. In Minnesota’s 27-10 victory over the Lions, Rice set a career-high with 201 receiving yards on only seven catches. Rice caught three passes of 40-plus yards, which included a 56-yarder early in the fourth quarter that put the team in position to go up by two touchdowns
Donovan McNabb: In the team’s second consecutive bad performance against AFC West foes, McNabb completed 35 of 55 passes for 450 yards and two TDs in a 31-23 loss to the San Diego Chargers. The 450 yard performance was the second best of his career and only the fourth 400-yard passing performance by an Eagle since the 70’s.
Charles Woodson: The Packers defense had a stellar game against a good Dallas Cowboys team. Perhaps most impressive of all was Packers CB Charles Woodson. Woodson, who is a former Heisman Trophy winner, had two forced fumbles, one interception, one sack and nine tackles in Green Bay’s 17-7 victory.
The Bengals’ defense: The Cincinnati Bengals won a very tough road game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the victory 18-12
