GAMEDAY HEROES

JOSH NORMAN, CB, Panthers Two interceptions, including a 46-yard touchdown return, give him an NFL-high four for the year.

KIRK COUSINS, QB, Redskins He capped a 15-play, 90-yard fourth-quarter drive with the winning touchdown pass to Pierre Garcon.

CHRIS IVORY, RB, Jets Found London to his liking to the tune of 166 yards on 29 carries and a touchdown against the woeful Dolphins.

GAMEDAY GOATS

­JASON MYERS, K, Jaguars They traded Josh Scobee to give him the job. Call it a push? Myers missed two potential winning field goals.

TRAMON WILLIAMS, CB, Browns Was offsides on San Diego's final 39-yard field goal, which missed. The Chargers got another chance and hit.

DEREK NEWTON, RT, Texans Stripped the ball from Arian Foster — for whom he is supposed to be blocking — and it was returned for a TD.

FANTASY RUSH

GOING UP Cairo Santos is going to win someone a fantasy title this year, if the Chiefs keep kicking field goals down 18 in the fourth quarter.

GOING DOWN DeMarco Murray has 60 fewer carries and 487 fewer yards than a year ago. He is understandably not happy about it.

LOOKING AHEAD The Steelers still have no Big Ben, but they do have Le'Veon Bell to run up yards against the poor Chargers run defense.
