Troy Polamalu, DB, Steelers - 6 tackles, a sack and a pass defended
Pittsburgh was embarrassed in week one by the rival Ravens, so Polamalu led a defensive charge by shutting out Pete Carroll's Seahawks on Sunday.
All-American Caliber
Fred Davis, TE, Redskins - 6 catches for 86 yards and a TD to follow up his strong week 1
Clay Matthews, LB, Packers - 4 tackles, a sack and a pass defended in a win
Sedrick Ellis, DT, Saints - 2 passes batted down in a win
Everson Griffen, DE, Vikings - First career sack
Brian Cushing, LB, Texans - Team-leading 7 tackles in a win
