A closer look at the nominees:
• Brady brings Patriots back into first place: It appeared that for the second consecutive week the New England Patriots wouldn't be able to hang on to a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter. The New York Jets had the Patriots in a dire situation late, after K NICK FOLK put New York up by three with less than two minutes left. QB Tom Brady was unnerved and carefully drove the Patriots to the tying field goal as time expired. Brady then led another scoring drive to open overtime, leading the Patriots to what wound up to be the winning kick by K STEPHEN GOSTKOWSKI.
• Cruz helps Giants survive scare vs. Redskins: The New York Giants' dynamic duo of QB ELI MANNING and WR Victor Cruz continue to rise to the occasion at the most crucial times. After QB ROBERT GRIFFIN III gave the Washington Redskins a lead with a minute and a half left, Cruz and Manning answered with a 77-yard touchdown which gave the Giants a vital 27-23 division win.
• Hasselbeck helps Titans win again in final minute: For the second consecutive week, veteran QB Matt Hasselbeck delivered in the clutch when the Tennessee Titans faced a fourth-quarter deficit. On Sunday in Orchard Park, N.Y., Hasselbeck used nearly two of the game's final three minutes to eliminate a six-point deficit and earn the Titans a 35-34 victory over the Buffalo Bills with a 15-yard winning touchdown pass to WR NATE WASHINGTON on fourth down.
