Best:
Chicago Defense: It looks something like a Christmas list with the amount of gifts that the Lions handed the Bears' defense, but nonetheless, it was quite an accomplishment for Da Bears! They intercepted Matthew Stafford four times, recovered two fumbles, had two defensive touchdowns, and recorded four sacks. The defense alone would have beaten the Lions, but just for good measures, their offense also scored 23 additional points.
Aaron Rodgers: He's becoming a mainstay in the "Best" performances category, but with another four TD effort and 250-yards passing, he is making it easier and easier to pencil his name into the MVP slot. With the Packers' undefeated record and his outstanding play, people are beginning to talk about Rodgers in the same category as Tom Brady from his unprecedented season in 2007-08.
Denarius Moore: The rookie had by far his best performance as a pro on Thursday night against the Chargers, catching five balls for 123 yards and two TDs. He may become Carson Palmer's new favorite receiver as a deep threat because the dude has nasty speed. Expect to see his numbers consistently climb for the rest of the season and remember where and when this kid had his breakout game.
Worst:
Matthew Stafford: And just as soon as everyone jumped on the Lions' bandwagon, they came up with a performance this past weekend that resembled their 0-16 days. This was of course a fluke on every level, but especially for Stafford. His four interceptions on Sunday doubled his total for the season. He'll have to get it turned around fast before the Lions' big Thanksgiving tilt against the Packers.
Ryan Fitzpatrick: Even with a Harvard education, Fitzpatrick couldn't solve the Dallas defense, getting picked off four times. His performance made the Dallas defense actually look good and we all know that can't be possible... can it?? But, anyways, after a hot start, Fitzpatrick and the Bills have cooled off and are now sitting in tie for second with the Jets, one game behind the Patriots. But there's still a lot of football remaining and remember, nobody circles the wagons like the BUFFALO BILLS!
Colts' Offense: On the one day when the Colts' defense actually played somewhat well (only surrendering 17 points), their offense chose to take the day off (although they've taken the whole season off) and only scored three points against the lowly Jaguars. Every loss is another game closer to selecting Andrew Luck as the top pick in next year's NFL Draft, unless of course, Luck elects to stay in school for his senior year (which he may do just to avoid the Colts).
And there you have it, Week 10s Best and Worst Performances. Don't worry Colts fans, there's always next season, when you actually have your beloved Peyton Manning back.
