CLUTCH PERFORMER OF THE WEEK NOMINEES
Robert Alford, Atlanta Falcons
Alford's 59-yard interception-return touchdown in overtime lifted the Falcons past the Washington Redskins, 25-19, and kept Atlanta among the ranks of the NFL's undefeated teams. The Falcons became the first team to start 5-0 when trailing in the fourth quarter of four games.
Mike Nugent, Cincinnati Bengals
Nugent capped a 17-point rally with a game-tying 31-yard field goal as time expired in regulation, and then connected on a 42-yard field goal with 3:36 left in overtime to give the Bengals a 27-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks.
Josh McCown, Cleveland Browns
McCown threw for a franchise record 457 yards, 32 of which came on the Browns' winning drive in overtime, to lead the Browns past the Baltimore Ravens, 33-30. McCown led the Browns back from a 12-point deficit and became the first quarterback in Browns history with three consecutive 300-yard passing games.
Tyrod Taylor, Buffalo Bills
Taylor ran for a touchdown, threw for a touchdown and caught a pass in Buffalo's come-from-behind 14-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Taylor's fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Chris Hogan capped the comeback.
Eli Manning, New York Giants
The final of Manning's career-best 41 completions went for the game-winner to tight end Larry Donnell with 21 seconds remaining to give the Giants a 30-27 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Manning's touchdown pass finished off an 82-yard drive that helped the Giants earn a third consecutive win.
