Week One PFW Players of the Week

Sept. 10, 2007

Offense

QB Tony Romo
Dallas Cowboys
Romo completed 15-of-24 passes for 345 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in the Cowboys’ 45-35 win over the Giants. He also ran nine yards for a score late in the third quarter. Romo’s best throw was a perfectly slotted slant to WR Sam Hurd for a 51-yard score.

Defense

DE Mario Williams
Houston Texans
The much-maligned former No. 1 draft pick had his breakout game in Houston’s 20-3 win over Kansas City. Williams recovered a Chiefs fumble on the opening drive of the second half and returned it 38 yards for a TD. He also totaled five tackles and two sacks.

Special teams

PK Mason Crosby
Green Bay Packers
The rookie kicker delivered a 16-13 win for the Packers, converting 3-of-3 FG attempts, including a 42-yarder with two seconds left in regulation. Crosby tied the game at 13 with a 37-yard FG late in the third quarter, and he nailed a 53-yard FG in the first quarter.

Who knew that Heavyhitta wrote for PFW?

What I don't understand is they keep saying he scored 4 TDs. No, he passed for 4 TDs, he scored 5 TDs and should get credit for them.

They did say he ran for another.

They did say he ran for another.

I guess I was annoyed enough for all the others that I only skimmed over it and missed it. I was looking for a 5 in there somewhere.

Major props to Romo and J. Garrett.

 

[peplaw06]

A rookie, a sophomore, and a QB who is in his first full season as a starter. Good week for the youngins.

Mario Williams, stepping up for Houston. Good on him.

Mario Williams, stepping up for Houston. Good on him.

But Houston was crazy for taking him over Vince Young and Reggie Bush

 

[kevwun]

From what I have read, Mario Williams' fumble return was one of those plays where everyone thought the play was over. I don't know for sure as I didn't watch the game.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Can you say ROMO and MVP?

Mario Williams is going to have a really good year for the Texans... I believe he's a 10 sack a year guy, which is outstanding.
