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.
