Colt McCoy, Washington Redskins
McCoy leads dramatic overtime win in Dallas:Washington Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy directed a game-winning drive in overtime for a 20-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys. On the first offensive drive of overtime, McCoy -- who started the season as the Redskins' third-string quarterback -- connected with tight end Jordan Reed on the sideline for a 16-yard gain that placed Washington within field goal range.
