Offense

Mike Glennon – Quarterback, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Stills continues to be an explosive downfield threat for Drew Brees and the Saints, his 3 catches for 75 yards, including a 52 yard touchdown reception helped New Orleans race past Dallas 49-17.

Jordan Reed – Tight End, Washington Redskins

Reed has emerged as a playmaker and go to guy for Robert Griffin III and the Redskins offense, but 6 catches for 62 yards and a touchdown were not enough to get a win against the Vikings.

Larry Warford – Right Guard, Detroit Lions

Warford has played a key role in Reggie Bush emerging as an elite back, the Lions controlled the line of scrimmage in their 21-19 victory over the Chicago Bears.
