Mark Sanchez, the guy throwing the ball, was even more impressive than Santonio Holmes. The throws Sanchez mad to Holmes and Braylon Edwards on the game-winning drive were on the money.

Sanchez is really making a name for himself as one of the elite quarterbacks in the National Football League. He had a big day in Week 11 as he completed 22 of 38 passes for 315 yards and three touchdowns with one interception.

Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB, Buffalo Bills

New Orleans Saints' quarterback Drew Brees had plenty of reasons to pump his fist in Week 11 as the Saints defeated the Seattle Seahawks 34-19.

Brees has the Saints on a three-game winning streak and the Saints looked a little bit like the Super Bowl champs from 2009 in their Week 11 victory. Brees completed 29 of 43 passes for 382 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions. Although Brees threw the two interceptions, the Saints' offense looked alive and back in old form.

Greg Jennings, WR, Green Bay Packers

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings had a monster game in a 31-3 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Jennings snagged seven passes for 152 yards and three touchdowns. Jennings now has nine touchdowns on the year and at least six receptions in the last five games.

Jennings has definitely come on for the Packers during their four-game winning streak, and they certainly need No. 85 to stay hot.

Steve Johnson, WR, Buffalo Bills

Like Ryan Fitzpatrick, where did Steve Johnson come from? Buffalo Bills fans do not care as long as he is producing and helping the Bills win football games. Johnson gets the nod over Jennings because his performance helped the Bills win in comeback fashion.

Johnson caught eight passes for 137 yards and three touchdowns, all three coming in the second half to help secure a 49-31 comeback win over the Bengals.

Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers are probably thrilled they swept the Minnesota Vikings this season. Of course, it is because their former quarterback Brett Favre is under center for the Vikings. Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers proved to Favre that the Packers don't need him, as Rodgers lit it up in Week 11.

Rodgers completed 22 of 31 passes for 304 yards and four touchdowns while committing zero turnovers. Rodgers now has seven touchdowns in the last two games without throwing an interception. Rodgers big game came in an old fashion beat down during a 31-3 over the Vikings.
