Other awards...

Top Kicker: John Carney, the guy who has been around the league and back, leads all kickers in field goals with 18. Although, he hasn't gone over 50 yards yet. So Matt Prater is the guy so far. John Kasay is on his heels though. Prater's claim to fame was back-to-back weeks with a field goal of equal to or more than 55 yards.

Top Defense: How about the Eagles and Bears? The Bears lack in sacks, but have five defense and special teams touchdowns. The Eagles have three. My personal choice, though, is the Titans. They have given up only 87 points in eight weeks. They lack in sacks, but have a ton of picks.

Top Individual Defense Player: DeMarcus Ware is a sack machine and makes tackles. Joey Porter wants the sack record (he's nearly halfway there with 10.5). James Harrison, the former Kent State product, is playing well. With some time left, Patrick Willis could make the run for the title though.

Biggest bust: Easy to go with Tom Brady, but how about Joseph Addai? He hasn't done anything except find the injury list. If he can get healthy, he may help for a playoff run.

Biggest surprise: Too many. How about Aaron Rodgers and Greg Jennings forming the new dynamic duo in Green Bay? The old was Brett Favre and Antonio Freeman or Brett Favre and Robert Brooks or Brett Favre and Greg Jennings. Another one is lack of production from Braylon Edwards. He seemed on the verge of taking over, but has stepped back.
