It was another weekend of NFL action with Sunday gladiators batting brilliantly and bringing honor to the Gridiron. With all of the Sunday action concluded, we recognize those warriors that rose above the rest to stand tall once more amongst the defeated.
In San Francisco before a hostile crowd, Falcon’s running back Michael Turner found great success on the ground. Turner toted the rock 22 times for 97 yards rushing and scored three touchdowns.
On the road facing the St. Louis Rams, the Viking’s running back Adrian Peterson found some success of his own. Peterson only carried the ball 15 times, but he rushed for 69 yards and scored two touchdowns in the team’s victory.
The Cowboy’s running back Tashard Choice needed only eight carries Sunday to do his damamge. Choice gained 92 yards on the ground for a hefty 11.5-yards per carry average and scored on a 36 yard run to help the cause.
The Giant’s starting quarterback Eli Manning was perfect on Sunday against the Raiders and needed only 10 passes to do so. Manning was 8 out of 10 passing for 173 yards and two touchdowns. He also finished the game with a perfect passer rating of 158.3.
The Seahawk’s starting quarterback Matt Hasselbeck made his return on Sunday and what a difference he made. Hasselbeck was nearly flawless completing 18 of 30 passes for 241 yards and four touchdowns to lead his team.
The Eagle’s quarter Donovan McNabb also made his return from injury on Sunday. With an extra week of preparation Mcnabb showed no signs of rust completing 16 of 21 passes for 264 yards and three touchdowns. McNabb also added 30 yards on two scrambles to go along with his 157.2 passer rating.
Typically known as a running team, Steeler’s quarterback Ben roethlisberger is quickly changing the team’s identity. The big-time arm threw for 277 yards on 23 of 30 passing and also tossed three touchdowns.
The Bronco’s playmaking receiver Brandon Marshall scored a touchdown for his third consecutive game. Playing a big part in the Bronco’s win on Sunday, Marshall caught eight passes for 64 yards and two touchdowns.
The Seahawk’s top free agent acquisition from the offseason continues to come on strong lately. Wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh caught five passes for 77 yards and scored twice to help lead his team.
The Cardinal’s wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald showed folks on Sunday some of what makes him great. Fitz caught five passes for 79 yards and scored two touchdowns to help the Cards win.
The Seahawk’s other receiver Nate Burleson continued to show why he is one of the leagues best at his position. Burleson caught six passes on Sunday for 98 yards and added two scores in the Seahawks victory.
In the weekly night cap, one of the Colt’s rookie receiver Austin Collie made huge contributions in the team’s win. Collie grabbed eight Manning passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns in the winning effort.
These were just a few of Week five’s Gridiron Gladiators. Check out the rest of Sunday’s Heroes from today’s action;
