Monday morning quarterbacking: Week 5

October 10, 2011 at 6:04AM

GAMEDAY HEROES

DOUG BALDWIN, WR, Seahawks The undrafted free agent caught eight passes for 136 yards, including a late 27-yard TD for the go-ahead score.

MICHAEL HUFF, S, Raiders Preserved Oakland's victory a day after Al Davis' death by intercepting Matt Schaub in the end zone on the final play.

DAN SEPULVEDA, P, Steelers His 33-yard completion to Ryan Mundy helped turn the tide, as a tight game with the Titans became a blowout.

GAMEDAY GOATS

JACOB LACEY, CB, Colts The 5-8 cornerback was picked on all day by the Chiefs, particularly Dwayne Bowe, and also committed three penalties.

MICHAEL VICK, QB, Eagles Four interceptions and a 1-4 record for a supposed Super Bowl favorite. This is messing up his comeback story.

JACK DEL RIO, coach, Jaguars There are about a half-dozen eligible goats for Jacksonville; in lieu of naming them all, the coach is offered instead.

FANTASY RUSH

GOING UP If you're desperate for a QB, might we suggest Curtis Painter, who did a reasonable Peyton Manning impression Sunday?

GOING DOWN If Sunday's game was Cedric Benson's last before an NFL suspension, he didn't go out with a bang (24 carries, 53 yards).

LOOKING AHEAD Michael Turner scored four TDs in two games vs. Carolina last year, and this year's Panthers have the No. 31 run defense.
