Many Trojans had great games on Sunday, a few more play tonight. See who shined on Sunday after the jump and who plays tonight.

Carson Palmer went 34/50 for 345 yards passing 2 TDs and an INT in a losing effort against the Patriots. Palmer’s team was getting smoked in the first half, but the former Heisman winner kept his composure and made the game respectable in the second half. In that same game Keith Rivers led the Bengals with 7 tackels and Rey Maualuga had 4 tackles. The Bengals lost to the Patriots 38-24.
Troy Polamalu made an insane interception in the 4th quarter against Atlanta. The Steelers went on to win the game in overtime 15-9. Polamalu also had 3 tackels and a pass deflection. Here is video of Troy’s INT:
Clay Matthews had two sacks, a pass deflection, a forced fumble and 7 tackels in a 27-20 win over the Eagles. He also stuffed a 4th and 1 run at the end of the game to seal the victory for the Packers. Matthews was Peter King’s Defensive Players of the Week.
Two Seahawks proved their worth to doubters on Sunday. Some coach named Pete Carroll stomped the 49ers 31-6. Mike Williams rose from the ashes and finished the game with 4 catches for 64 yards. He almost scored on a 35 yard reception where he got in the endzone but was down on the 1 yard line. Lofa Tatupu had 8 tackles for the Seahawks.
Terrell Thomas had an INT, 4 pass deflactions and 4 tackles for the Giants in their 31 – 18 win over the Panthers.
Tonight the Jets’ Mark Sanchez and Joe McKnight face the Ravens in the early Monday Night Football game. Matt Cassel and the Kansas City Chiefs play the Chargers in the late game.
