QB Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts
This season, Peyton Manning is reminding people that he’s still the best quarterback in the NFL. Week 5 was more proof. Against the Titans, Manning had 309 passing yards to go with three touchdown tosses.

RB Michael Turner, Atlanta Falcons
After a breakout campaign a year ago, Michael Turner had been relatively quiet to begin the 2009 NFL season. In Week 5, however, he was quite loud. Turner finished with 97 yards rushing and three touchdowns.

WR Miles Austin, Dallas Cowboys
With out outing, Miles Austin just made himself a household name. Against the Chiefs, Austin had ten catches for 250 yards and two touchdowns. His final touchdown gave the Cowboys the win in overtime.

TE Kellen Winslow, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Buccaneers traded for Winslow in the offseason. In Week 5, he showed why. The tight end had nine catches for 102 yards and two touchdown grabs.

Top Performances – NFL Week 5

- The Steelers lock up Ben Roethlisberger for 8 years, $102 million extension. Now only the Pittsburgh equipment manager will ever have to deal with his unwieldy last name.

- The Atlanta Falcons release Warrick Dunn after signing Michael Turner. This should fix everything. (Also, I’d like to note, I think Michael Turner was the third most important running back on the Chargers last year.)

- Randy Moss resigns with the Patriots for two years of dicking around and a third year of being unstoppable.

- Tampa Bay continues to build on their stable of mediocre NFL quarterbacks by adding Brian Griese.

- Mewelde Moore escapes the crowded Minnesota backfield, good for him.

- The Tennessee Titans sign possibly the greatest player ever named after that gunk in your fish tank, Alge Crumpler.
