| Offense |
WR David Patten
New England Patriots
Patten stepped into the starting lineup and did something the NFL hasn’t seen
since Walter Payton did it 22 years ago. Patten scored three different ways, running for a
29-yard touchdown, throwing a 60-yard TD pass and catching two scores. He also tallied 117
receiving yards in the Patriots’ upset of Indianapolis. |

| Defense |
OLB Joey Porter
Pittsburgh Steelers
Porter and the rest of the Steelers pinned their ears back and went after Buccaneers QB
Brad Johnson, racking up a team-record 10 sacks. Porter was credited with four of them. He
also contributed six tackles and a pass defensed in Pittsburgh’s win. |

| Golden Toe |
PK Joe Nedney
Tennessee TitansNedney converted all four of his FG attempts (from 38, 46, 30
and 46 yards) in Tennessee’s 27-24 win. His last kick came in the waning seconds of
regulation to lift the Titans over Detroit. |
