Week Two

PFW Players of the Week

As published in print Sept. 24, 2001

Offense

QB Peyton Manning
Indianapolis Colts

If Manning is indeed getting better, the remaining 30 teams should be very concerned. He completed 23-of-29 passes for 421 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions. Manning also ran for a one-yard score in the Colts’ 42-26 win over Buffalo.

Defense

LB Takeo Spikes
Cincinnati Bengals

Spikes, the fiery leader of the Bengals’ improved defense, made six tackles and returned a fourth-quarter interception 66 yards for the score that all but sealed the win over Baltimore. He also batted away another pass in the endzone that a teammate took the other way.

PK Jeff Wilkins

Wilkins battled the wind in 3Com Park to nail all three of his field-goal attempts. He connected from 44, 40 and 25 yards out in the Rams’ 30-26 defeat of the 49ers in San Francisco.
