GAMEDAY HEROES

A.J. GREEN, WR, Bengals In case you forgot how great he is, he had eight catches (on eight targets) for 169 yards including a 48-yard TD where he tipped the ball to himself.

T.Y. McGILL, DT, Colts Had only one tackle vs. the Titans, but it was a big one: He beat a double team for a strip-sack of Marcus Mariota resulting in a clinching fumble return TD.

DANIEL SORENSEN, S, Chiefs A pick-six and a sack for a third-year former undrafted free agent with one career sack and one career interception.

GAMEDAY GOATS

DAN QUINN, coach, Falcons

Not only was his decision to go for it on fourth-and-1 from his own 45 in OT pretty questionable, but the play-call was an easy-to-guess off-tackle run.

MATT JONES, RB, Redskins His chronic fumbling problems continued vs. the Lions: He fumbled twice on 10 carries, losing one in the end zone, and gained only 27 yards.

AARON BURBRIDGE, WR, 49ers Ran into his own punt returner while he was making a fair catch, enabling Tampa Bay to recover the ball.

FANTASY RUSH

GOING UP With 217 receiving yards over the past two weeks for the Ravens, Mike Wallace has, in seven games, surpassed his yardage total from all of last season with the Vikings.

GOING DOWN Doug Martin owners have to be wondering how much he will get to play whenever he returns after seeing what Jacquizz Rodgers and Peyton Barber did Sunday.

LOOKING AHEAD The Dolphins are on bye, so sorry Jay Ajayi owners. Maybe take a look at Matt Forte against the woeful Browns instead.
