GAMEDAY HEROES

CHRIS LONG, DE, Rams

The No. 2 overall pick in 2008 matched his season total with three sacks in St. Louis' stunning victory over the Saints.

TORREY SMITH, WR, Ravens

The rookie's 36-yard reception in the final minute set up Baltimore's chip-shot field goal to cap its comeback.

BEN ROETHLISBERGER, QB, Steelers Outshined Tom Brady by completing 36 of 50 passes for 365 yards and two touchdowns.

GAMEDAY GOATS

BRANDON MARSHALL, WR, Dolphins He promised a victory over the Giants, but his pass interference penalty helped derail Miami's second half.

COLT McCOY, QB, Browns

Fumbled four times, losing one, and threw an interception as the Cleveland offense could do little vs. the 49ers.

RYAN TORAIN, RB, Redskins

Had eight carries for 14 yards, giving him a three-game total of 20 carries for 31 yards after his 135-yard game vs. St. Louis.

FANTASY RUSH

GOING UP

Javon Ringer has to be looked at hard, both by the Titans and by owners fed up with Chris Johnson's lack of productivity.

GOING DOWN

The pro-Tim Tebow crowd had to take a back seat to the anti-Tim Tebow crowd after his wretched performance.

LOOKING AHEAD

The Packers have a tough trip to San Diego, but Aaron Rodgers has averaged 324.3 yards per game coming out of a bye.
