QB Shane Matthews
Chicago Bears
Called into action after starter Jim Miller left with a bruised hip in the second
quarter, Matthews stepped up in a big way, rallying the Bears to a dramatic
come-from-behind win. Matthews completed 25-of-31 passes for 166 yards, three touchdowns
and one interception. |

| Defense |
SS Sammy Knight
New Orleans Saints
Knight seems to have a real nose for the football, and he proved it once again in the
win over the Rams. Knight recorded eight tackles, one sack for a four-yard loss and two
interceptions which he returned for a total of 34 yards. |

| Golden Toe |
PK John Carney
New Orleans SaintsThe Saints needed everything they could get from Carney vs.
the Rams, and he gave them a perfect day, nailing all five of his field-goal attempts
(from 33, 44, 44, 23 and 27 yards out). The last of Carneys field goals came with
one second left to win the game for New Orleans 34-31. |
