What an insane week it was. Week 14 is going to offer us two Monday night games this week \u2013\u00a0they Biggest dud may well be Mother Nature! There were some great performances this week and some dreadful ones as well. The funny thing is that Studs continue to be Studs, no matter the elements while Duds don\u2019t care if it is sunny, windy or rainy \u2013\u00a0they will find a way to be Duds!<\/p>\n

Enjoy Dave B\u2019s Week 14 edition of Studs and Duds and by all means, leave a comment if I left someone out!<\/p>\n

Studs of the Week:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tom Brady \u2013\u00a0New England Patriots \u2013 <\/strong> How many of you benched Brady when they saw the weather report? I did! 369 yards and two touchdowns against a tough Bears defense and in brutal conditions makes Brady an absolute Stud.<\/p>\n

Darren McFadden \u2013\u00a0Oakland Raiders \u2013 <\/strong>McFadden was a beast on Sunday. He ran 16 times for 123 yards and a touchdown while adding 86 yards and a touchdown through the air. 209 combined yards and three scores make him Co-Stud of the Week<\/p>\n

Other Studs:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

QBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Peyton Manning \u2013\u00a0Indianapolis Colts \u2013 <\/strong> There is not much talk about Manning\u2019s slump now. On Thursday night, he went 25-35 for 319 yards and two touchdowns on National television.<\/p>\n

Jason Campbell \u2013\u00a0Oakland Raiders \u2013 <\/strong> The winner of the \u201cMost Unlikely Stud of the Week\u201d award \u2013 Jason Campbell who threw for 324 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Michael Vick \u2013\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles \u2013 <\/strong> Vick was swarmed all night long against Dallas but still managed three total touchdowns. He passed for 270 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 16 yards and a touchdown as well.<\/p>\n

RBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Michael Turner \u2013\u00a0Atlanta Falcons \u2013 <\/strong>Turner keeps getting it done and just missed out on Stud of the Week Honours. He ran the ball 28 times for 112 yards and three touchdowns in Atlanta\u2019s destruction of Carolina.<\/p>\n

Chris Johnson \u2013\u00a0Tennessee Titans \u2013 <\/strong>Johnson was another player that shook his slump on Thursday night. He ran the ball 22 times for 111 yards and a touchdown while adding eight catches for 86 yards in a loss to Indianapolis of Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Tim Hightower \u2013\u00a0Arizona Cardinals \u2013 <\/strong> See ya later Beanie Wells! Hightower cemented himself as the unquestioned #1 running back for the Cards with 18 carries, 148 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Honourable Mention: <\/strong>Ryan Torain \u2013 Washington Redskins, Jonathan Stewart \u2013 Carolina Panthers, Maurice Jones-Drew \u2013 Jacksonville Jaguars, LeSean McCoy \u2013 Philadelphia Eagles<\/p>\n

WRs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pierre Garcon \u2013\u00a0Indianapolis Colts \u2013 <\/strong> Peyton Manning finally had a good game and made Pierre Garcon look like a Pro Bowler. Garcon caught 6 passes for 93 yards and two touchdowns on Thursday night \u2013 Stud!<\/p>\n

Deion Branch \u2013\u00a0New England Patriots \u2013 <\/strong>Branch had an enormous game in some miserable conditions. Eight catches for 151 yards and a touchdown in a blizzard is certainly a Stud performance. <\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

DeSean Jackson \u2013\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles \u2013 <\/strong> Jackson stepped up and put a damper on what looked like a comeback by the Cowboys. His 91 yard touchdown in the 4th<\/sup> quarter cemented his Stud status. In the end, Jackson caught 4 passes for a staggering 201 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n

Honourable Mention:<\/strong> Wes Welker \u2013 New England Patriots, Hines Ward \u2013 Pittsburgh Steelers<\/p>\n

Duds of the Week:<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kyle Orton \u2013\u00a0Denver Broncos \u2013 <\/strong> What the hell happened to Kyle Orton? He was a sure fire starter only a couple of weeks ago but performances like the one on Sunday has him looking more like a Dud. 19 receptions on 41 attempts for 166 yards, zero touchdowns and three interceptions are as Dudly as one can get.<\/p>\n

Jamaal Charles \u2013\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs \u2013 <\/strong> Charles just signed a huge contact extension and with Matt Cassel being out this week, one would have thought that Charles was a Top 5 play. Nope! He ran for 40 yards on the day and is an unlikely Dud of the Week.<\/p>\n

Other Duds:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

QBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jay Cutler \u2013\u00a0Chicago Bears \u2013 <\/strong> We would have forgiven Cutler and kept him off the list if his counterpart didn\u2019t rip it up. Cutler only passed for 152 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions on the day \u2013 Dud!<\/p>\n

Mark Sanchez \u2013\u00a0New York Jets \u2013 <\/strong> Sanchez was missing his receivers all day long and when he was hitting them, the receivers were dropping the ball.\u00a0 The result \u2013 17 completions on 44, yes 44 attempts for 216 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception.<\/p>\n

Chad Henne \u2013\u00a0Miami Dolphins \u2013 <\/strong>Not that you would have started Henne but it is worth noting that he threw for 55 yards \u2013 AND HE PLAYED THE WHOLE GAME! Henne did throw a touchdown but still delivered a total Dud.<\/p>\n

RBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

LaDainian Tomlinson \u2013\u00a0New York Jets \u2013 <\/strong> That makes five games and counting since LT rushed for over 50 yards. On Sunday, in a game in which his team could have used a little running support. LT gained only 49 yards on 19 carries.<\/p>\n

Matt Forte \u2013\u00a0Chicago Bears \u2013 <\/strong> Forte should have been heavily featured on Sunday but was only able to run for 25 yards. He did gain 36 yards through the air but his overall game was still a Dud.<\/p>\n

Cedric Benson \u2013\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals \u2013 <\/strong>Benson\u2019s game has been off all season and I guess we shouldn\u2019t have expected much against the Steelers. 19 yards rushing though? Dud!<\/p>\n

WRs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dwayne Bowe \u2013\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs \u2013 <\/strong> I know that Bordie Croyle didn\u2019t help him out all that much but in a game that the Chiefs were trailing throughout, Bowe should have gotten more than one catch for three whopping yards!<\/p>\n

Terrell Owens \u2013\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals \u2013 <\/strong> Paging Terrell Owens! After starting the season strong, TO has really tailed off. Need proof? How about a Dud-like one catch, 22 yards performance! I\u2019d like to say that I feel sorry for Mr. Owens, but I don\u2019t!<\/p>\n

Jeremy Maclin \u2013\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles \u2013 <\/strong> Thanks for coming out and contributing 1 catch for 11 yards Jeremy!<\/p>\n

Honourable Mention: <\/strong>Braylon Edwards \u2013 NY Jets, Donald Driver \u2013 Green Bay Packers, Mike Williams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Steve Johnson \u2013 Buffalo Bills, Brandon Lloyd \u2013 Denver Broncos, Miles Austin \u2013 Dallas Cowboys<\/p>\n
