Five Players To Watch During Week 10
Added on Nov 12, 2010 by Scott in

Another week in the NFL season means another slate of intriguing matchups to ponder. The Vikings look to continue their winning ways in Chicago. The suddenly surging Browns welcome the Jets to Cleveland. A showdown between the Patriots and Steelers pits two of the AFC’s best teams. And Michael Vick will make his highly anticipated return to Monday Night Football to face the rival Redskins. Here are five players to keep a close eye on during Week 10.
Chad Pennington (Dolphins) – Exit young Chad Henne, enter veteran Chad Pennington. The elder Chad will have a tall task against a well-rested, aggressive Titans defense that has tallied 26 sacks and 13 interceptions. The Dolphins offense has been flat in recent weeks and awful in the red zone. Pennington has a history of reigniting floundering attacks, but Tennessee has yielded only nine touchdown passes in eight games.
Randy Moss (Titans) – Yes, Randy now plays for the Titans. Well, he’s on the roster. Whether or not he plays is another story. Will he put forth maximum effort? Doubtful. He probably hasn’t given it his all since 2007. However, the Titans don’t need him to be the awesome Randy Moss to benefit the offense. If he can stretch the field and draw a little bit of the attention away from Chris Johnson, then he’ll be a welcome addition.
David Harris (Jets) – Harris is the Jets second leading tackler and best run defender. He’ll need to be on top of his game on Sunday because the bruising Peyton Hillis, fresh off a 184-yard, two touchdown performance against the Patriots, will be pounding the rock all day long. To beat the Browns, the Jets must limit Hillis early. For that to happen, Harris has to speerhead the charge.
Eric Berry (Chiefs) – Kansas City’s rookie strong safety has been an absolute beast his last three games: 18 tackles, two sacks, four passes defended and two interceptions. Needless to say, he’s more than living up to the hype. His nemesis on Sunday will be Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton, who has tossed for 300-plus yards five times in 2010. Berry should have plenty of opportunities to be a disruptive force.
Donovan McNabb (Redskins) – Last we saw McNabb he was standing on the sidelines wearing a hat while Rex Grossman fumbled away a loss to the Lions. For the second time in less than two years he had been benched. The soap opera that followed lasted two long weeks. Was he hurt? Out of shape? Unfamiliar with the offense? Nobody seems to know. Can the jilted signal caller rebound under the lights against his former team? He responded with four touchdown passes after his previous benching, so don’t count him out.
