Week 9 was definitely no friend to Tight Ends, as only Tony Gonzalez did anything noteworthy, but Adrian Peterson can already be seen walking up the steps to receive his Rookie of the Year award after beating Jamal Lewis' record for single game yardage by one yard. I bet it gave some some motivation to Jamal Lewis though, as he busted out 4 TDs himself.
On the defensive side of the ball, it seems the Jets may have found their replacement for Jonathan Vilma in David Harris. Harris acounted for 20 solo tackles and 4 assists. Amazing stuff.
Read on to see the list of all players that should have helped your team in a big way yesterday.
QB
Drew Brees NOS – 35-49 445 yds, 3 TDs, 1 fumble (33 pts) Good to see Brees has finally remembered how to QB.
Tony Romo DAL – 20-25 324 yds, 3 TDs, 1 INT (28 pts)
Tom Brady NEP – 21-32 255 yds, 3 TDs, 2 INTs passing, 5-14 yds rushing (25 pts) Not as big a diamond as usual, huh?
Jon Kitna DET – 16-31 252 yds, 2 TDs (22 pts) It’s getting harder to laugh at his 10 win prediction now, isn’t it?
Matt Hasselbeck SEA – 30-47 318 yds, 2 TDs, 1 INT passing, 4-17 yds rushing, 1 fumble (21 pts)
RB
Adrian Peterson MIN – 30-296 yds, 3 TDs, 1 fumble rushing, 1-19 receiving (52 pts)
Jamal Lewis CLE – 20-37 yds, 4 TDs rushing, 4-67 yds receiving (33 pts)
Joseph Addai IND – 26-112 yds rushing, 5-114 yds, 1 TD receiving (28 pts) So close….
Marshawn Lynch BUF – 29-153 yds, 1 TD rushing, 1-1 8 yds, 1 TD passing (27 pts) Who does he think he is, LT?
Clinton Portis WAS – 36-196 yds, 1 TD (25 pts) Big day for Portis, watch out going forward.
Larry Johnson KCC – 19-53 yds, 1 TD rushing, 3-42, 1 TD receiving (21 pts)

Warrick Dunn ATL – 27-100 yds, 1 TD (16 pts) 1st 100 yard effort of the season.
WR
Terrell Owens DAL – 10-174 yds, 1 TD (23 pts) I can’t believe no Philly fan threw anything at TO, especially when he started to flap his wings.
Lee Evans BUF – 9-165 yds, 1 TD (22 pts) In the last couple of weeks he finally remembered how to run a route.
Randy Moss NEP – 9-145 yds, 1 TD (20 pts) Do you thin he enjoyed being the top receiver in THIS game?
Greg Jennings GBP – 3-85 yds, 2 TDs (20 pts)
Bobby Engram SEA – 14-139 yds, 1 TD (19 pts) Always underrated.
TE
Tony Gonzalez KCC – 10-109 yds, 1 TD (16 pts) Not a nig day for TE’s, but Gonzo got his.
K
Shaun Suisham WAS – 5-5 FGs (15 pts) After only making 7 FGs in his first 7 games, Suisham came up big in week 9.
Rian Lindell BUF – 4-4 FGs, 3-3 XPs (15 pts)
Mason Crosby GBP – 4-5 FGs, 3-3 XPs (15 pts)
