NFL Week 4 Bleacher Report Awards: Michael Vick Injured, Kyle Orton Victorious

Brian DiTullioOct 4, 2010

It's time to hand out the NFL Week 4 awards for performances good and bad as everyone waits to hear what Michael Vick's injury status is.

But we must recognize people like Kyle Orton and LaDainian Tomlinson. There were some really good performances as you go through the day, and this piece really only scratches the surface.

I'm Brian DiTullio, NFL Featured Columnist for Bleacher Report, and here are this week's awards.

Hit Of The Week Goes To The Giants Defense

1 of 10
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - OCTOBER 03:  Olin Kreutz #57 looks at Todd Collins #10 of the Chicago Bears as he lays on the field after getting injured against the New York Giants at New Meadowlands Stadium on October 3, 2010 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.  (Pho

If you check the news reports, the Giants just may have sacked the Bears quarterback again. It was just one unbelievable hit after another from the Giants, and it would be unfair to single just one of those hits out.

Hopefully no one is hurt too bad, but you have to recognize good hitting when you see it.

Whoops, I Pooped My Pants Award Goes To The Philadelphia Eagles Fans

The Philadelphia Fans get this award for not booing Michael Vick as he left the field for X-Rays. Chances are most of the fans couldn't boo because they were too busy wondering what the heck the team was going to do with Kevin Kolb at the helm.

Not much, as it turned out.

Running Performance Of The Day Goes To Arian Foster

3 of 10
OAKLAND, CA - OCTOBER 3:  Running back Arian Foster #23 of the Houston Texans carries the ball against the Oakland Raiders  during an NFL football game October 3, 2010 at The Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum in Oakland, California. The Texans won the game

Arian Foster ran for 131 yards in one half. This was after being benched for the first half of the game versus the Oakland Raiders.

This begs the question: What would his run total be had he played all four quarters?

Don't Forget Me Award Goes To Peyton Hillis

4 of 10

Had it not been for Arian Foster, Peyton Hillis would've easily won the Running Performance of The Day Award.

There are a lot of sore Bengals defenders this morning, and Hillis is the cause. Hillis runs in a straight line and literally bounces defenders out of his way, usually requiring at least three defenders to take him down.

Best Performance From A Wide Receiver In A Losing Effort Goes To T.O.

5 of 10
CLEVELAND - OCTOBER 03:  Wide receiver Terrell Owens #81 of the Cincinnati Bengals catches a pass in front of Joe Haden #23 of the Cleveland Browns at Cleveland Browns Stadium on October 3, 2010 in Cleveland, Ohio.  (Photo by Matt Sullivan/Getty Images)

Terrell Owens had 10 catches for 222 yards in the game versus the Browns yesterday.

The game was a loss for Cincinnati, but don't blame Owens. The Browns assigned three different guys to cover him over the course of the game, and nobody could stop the guy.

Kick Of The Day: Josh Scobee

6 of 10
JACKSONVILLE, FL - OCTOBER 03:  Kicker Josh Scobee #10 of the Jacksonville Jaguars kicks the winning field goal against the Indianapolis Colts at EverBank Field on October 3, 2010 in Jacksonville, Florida.  (Photo by Marc Serota/Getty Images)

If kicking a 59-yard field goal to win a game over the Indianapolis Colts doesn't qualify for some kind of award, then there would be something wrong with the universe.

A 59-yard field goal is an automatic award, game-winner or not. Congratulations Josh!

Manning Of The Week Award Goes To: Kyle Orton!!

7 of 10
NASHVILLE, TN - OCTOBER 03:  Quarterback Kyle Orton #8 of the Denver Broncos looks to pass against the Tennessee Titans  at LP Field on October 3, 2010 in Nashville, Tennessee. Denver won 26-20.  (Photo by Grant Halverson/Getty Images)

The Colts lost and Eli Manning wasn't spectacular.

Kyle Orton, however, threw for 341 yards and two touchdowns with only one interception on the way to a victory over the Titans.

Orton put up a Manning-like performance, so apologies to Peyton.

Best QB Controversy: Arizona Cardinals

8 of 10
SAN DIEGO - OCTOBER 03:  Quarterback Derek Anderson #3 of the Arizona Cardinals drops back to pass in the first quarter against the San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium on October 3, 2010 in San Diego, California. The Chargers defeated the Cardinals 41-

The Cardinals decided Matt Leinart wasn't "The Guy" after Kurt Warner retired, then brought in Derek Anderson.

But Anderson stinks, so now he got benched in favor of an undrafted rookie, Max Hall. If Anderson is cut from the roster, there's rookie John Skelton.

How can you not win an award for such a screwed up quarterback situation?

Arizona Cardinal fans are drowning their sorrow this morning.

Worst Performance By A Defending Super Bowl Championship Team: New Orleans

9 of 10

The Saints only managed to beat the winless Carolina Panthers by two points.

Seriously?

I Said, "Hey Don't Forget About Me!" Award: L.T.

No, L.T., we didn't forget about you.

Congratulations on having a great day, passing Marshall Faulk, and continually rubbing Chargers GM A.J. Smith's nose in dirt for deciding you were over the hill.
