Week 7 Best and Worst Performances

Week 7 had some fantastic performances and some absolute garbage efforts.  So here are Week 7's Best and Worst Performances.

Best:


DeMarco Murray: The rookie running back set a Dallas Cowboys rushing record by running for 253 yards on only 25 carries.  Many are thinking that this could be a one hit wonder, but basing on Murray's production in college, this young-gun could be a special talent for the Cowboys, as long as they give him the touches.

Drew Brees: How does one throw for five TDs and over 300 yards in a game?  Play against the Indianapolis Colts.  Brees torched the Colts D for a huge game and made even me think that I could pass on the Colts uninspired defense.  Just another day at the office for Drew Breezy.

Plaxico Burress: Welcome back to the NFL Plax.  Maybe this is the receiver that Mark Sanchez has been waiting for in his young career, but when you have 6'6" wide receiver at your disposal, why not throw to him close to the endzone.  Burress' numbers weren't off the charts, with only 4 catches for 25 yards, but when three of those four grabs come for TDs, then you have yourself a day.

Bonus Pick: Arian Foster: Foster was not only the leading rusher for the Texans, but he was also their leading receiver.  His 119 rushing yards, 115 receiving yards and 3 TDs helped lead the way for the Texans to improve to 4-3 on the season.
Worst:


Kyle Boller and Carson Palmer: I could have taken the easy road and made each of these QBs have their own spot, but that would be, well easy.  The QBs combined for six interceptions thrown, each throwing three in the half of football that they played.  Maybe Terrelle Pryor's opportunity isn't too far down the road after all.

Browns vs. Seahawks Game: This is a first, but anytime there is 9 total points scored in a single game, each team deserves to be thrown into the "worst" category.  The defenses were clearly not bad in this game, but the offenses were atrocious.  If this was the only game on TV and I was forced to watch it, I think needles in my eye would have been a better solution.

Colts Defense: Everyone keeps saying that if Peyton Manning was healthy, the Colts would be running away with the division.  But let me tell you something, Manning plays on the offensive side of the ball, not on defense.  Even Manning can't put up 63 points, so when your defense surrenders 62 points, its hard to point fingers at anyone other than the defense themselves.

Stay alert for Week 8's Best and Worst Performances.  And lets hope that the "worst" are not nearly as bad as this week's.
