Tom Brady: Yes, Brady is on the Dud list and not on top of the Stud list…who would have ever thought this would happen? Brady, who did throw for 352 yards, might have cost his team the win when he tried to extend New England Patriots 21-19 lead late in the fourth quarter, Brady was intercepted in the end zone by rookie Vontae Davis. After Miami kicked the go-ahead field goal with 1:02 remaining, Brady threw a second pick, which sealed New England’s second straight loss.

Brad Childress: The Vikings coach finally makes the list with bad play calling throughout this season. Childress, who has lead his team to a 9-2 record, has called too many passing plays this season as the Vikings have become a one-dimensional team with the best running back in the NFL not getting enough carries.

Adrian Peterson: Another player who hardly ever finds himself on this list, Peterson was shut down by the Cardinals tough rush defense. Peterson rushed for a season-low 19 yards on 13 carries (a 1.5-yard average) in the Minnesota Vikings 30-17 loss to Arizona. Peterson had rushed for at least 55 yards in every game this season.

Shaun Suisham: The Redskins were headed toward an emotional home victory over the undefeated Saints when they handed the game over to their field goal kicker. With the Shaun Suisham leading 30-23 late in regulation, Suisham was wide right on a short 23-yard field goal attempt that would have iced the victory for Washington. The miss opened the door for Brees and the Saints, who rallied for an overtime victory.

Josh Freeman: Rookie QB Josh Freeman threw five interceptions, including three in the redzone, as the Buccaneers lost 16-6 to the Carolina. The rookie’s biggest error came on fourth-and-goal from the Panthers’ 2-yard line with Tampa Bay Buccaneers trailing 13-6 early in the fourth quarter. Freeman’s pass into the end zone was picked off by Chris Harris.

The Rams’ offense: Besides Steven Jackson, there are very few bright spots for the Rams. Jackson rushed for 112 yards in St. Louis’ 17-9 loss to Chicago, but the Rams’ offense was feeble as a whole. The Rams were 2-of-14 on third-down conversions, and QB Kyle Boller threw for just 113 yards and got sacked three times.

Bruce Gradkowski: Who would ever have thought that this much traveled quarterback would make the list two times in a three week period? In what appears to be the new long-term starter, Gradkowski threw for a career-high 308 yards and three TDs, including a pair to rookie speedster Louis Murphy in the final six minutes, to lead Oakland Raiders to a 27-24 victory at Pittsburgh. Gradkowski and Murphy connected on the epic game-winning scoring strike, an 11-yarder, with nine seconds left.

Chad Henne: Dolphins rookie QB Chad Henne threw for a career-high 335 yards and directed a 51-yard drive for the winning field goal with 1:02 left, lifting Miami past New England 22-21. Bess, a second-year wideout, who has build a good repoire with Henne, also had a big day, catching 10 passes for 117 yards and one touchdown.

Jason Campbell: The Redskins lost their version of a 2009 playoff game to New Orleans, but Campbell enjoyed his most productive game of the season. Campbell, a 2010 free agent, completed 30 of 42 passes for 367 yards and three touchdowns and one interception in Washington’s 33-30 overtime loss. Lead by Campbell, the Redskins totaled 455 yards of total offense, a season high.
Robert Meachem: Saints WR Robert Meachem set career highs with eight catches for 142 yards and two TDs in the Saints’ victory in the Saints come from behind victory on Sunday. Meachem also scored a third touchdown when Washington Redskins’s Kareem Moore intercepted a Drew Brees pass and ran 14 yards before Meachem stripped the ball and sprinted down the sideline for a 44-yard score.
Chad Ochocinco: Ochocinco finally got his wish of throwing the deep ball on Sunday and produced nine passes for a season-high 137 yards and one TD in the Bengals’ 23-13 victory over Detroit. It was Ochocinco’s first 100-yard receiving game since Week 7 and his highest receiving yardage total since Sept. 23, 2007 (against Seattle).

Jason Witten: The Cowboys generated 424 yards of offense — and fell short. Although the New York Giants handed Dallas a 31-24 loss, they couldn’t slow Witten, who repeatedly found open space in New York’s defense. Witten included his 500th career catch among a career-best 14 receptions for 156 yards.

The Broncos’ running game: Who ever said a running back by committee wasn’t a good idea? Correll Buckhalter and Knowshon Moreno helped the Broncos thrashed the Chiefs on Sunday with effective and hard running. Buckhalter ran for 113 yards on only 12 carries and Moreno rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns, powering Denver to a 44-13 victory.
