Winner: San Fran... ...for handing the Patriots their first December home loss since 2002 to clinch at least a wild-card spot in the NFC playoffs. On the other hand, the 49ers were nearly responsible for one of the worst regular season collapses in league history. Tom Brady single-handedly marched New England back from 28 points down with just over 10 minutes to play in the third quarter only to fall short of the win in Foxborough. (AP Photo/Steven Senne)

Winner: Dallas C... ...for knocking off a tough Steelers team in overtime in a virtual must-win game. The Cowboys, winners of their last three, are now locked in a three-way tie for first place in the NFC East with the Giants and Redskins. Playoff scenarios abound, thus, fans win. (AP Photo)

Winner: J.J. Wat... ...for recording three sacks, four tackles for no gain, and a forced fumble to lead the Texans to their second straight AFC South division title. Houston can secure home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs if it wins out. Not bad for a team that was embarrassed seven days ago in Foxborough. (AP Photo/Eric Gay)

Loser: Jay Cutle... ...for completing a mere 12 passes for 135 yards, 1 touchdown and an interception in a 21-13 loss to Green Bay. Chicago has now lost five of its last six and is in serious danger of missing the playoffs after starting the season 7-1. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh)

Winner: Adrian P... ...for yet another spectacular display of hard running, speed, agility and a season-high 212 yards on 24 carries and a touchdown against the Rams. With two weeks to play, the Vikings’ workhorse is now 294 yards shy of Eric Dickerson’s 28-year-old single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards. Comeback. Player. Of. The. Year.

Winner: Atlanta ... ...for making the defending Super Bowl champions look like the Jacksonville Jaguars in a dominating 34-0 shutout win at the Georgia Dome. The Giants were outclassed in every phase of the game and it was all Atlanta's doing. (AP Photo/John Amis)

Winner: Drew Bre... ...for bouncing back one week removed from a 52-27 blowout loss to the Giants to torch Tampa Bay’s secondary for 307 yards and 4 TDs in a 41-0 shutout win in New Orleans. The Saints’ defense added insult to humility, picking off Josh Freeman four times and sacking him twice. (AP Photo/Bill Haber)

Winner: Peyton M... ... for continuing to defy medical odds and delivering Denver its ninth straight win of the season in a 34-17 rout of the stumbling Ravens. By all estimates, the Broncos are a viable threat to hoist the Lombardi in New Orleans. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)

Winner: Arizona ... ...for snapping a nine-game losing streak and ending 2 1/2 months of heartache for Arizona fans. On top of the big win, Greg Toler's 102-yard interception return for a TD was the longest in Cardinals history. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin)

Loser: Jacksonvi... ...for an illegal-substitution penalty that negated a Justin Blackmon touchdown and for allowing the Dolphins—who rank 29th in total offense—to do what they wanted, when they wanted in a 24-3 blowout. Cecil Shorts III needs a new home. (AP Photo/John Bazemore)

Loser: San Diego... ...for allowing one of the league’s most inconsistent teams to come into your house and end your season in a 31-7 drubbing. The Bolts fell to 5-9, their worst record since 2003 and all but delivered pink slips to A.J. Smith and Norv Turner. (AP Photo/Gregory Bull)
