Brady highlights Players of the Week

Dec 12, 2007 - 10:31 PM NEW YORK (Ticker) -- New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady continues to put his personal stamp on the Player of the Week Award.

For the fourth time this season, Brady highlighted the NFL weekly awards on Wednesday by being tabbed as the AFC's offensive representative after helping his club continue to remain unbeaten.

Washington Redskins quarterback Todd Collins earned the corresponding honor in the NFC.

Denver Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil and Seattle Seahawks cornerback Marcus Trufant were the Defensive Players of the Week.

The special teams honors were captured by Houston Texans kick returner Andre Davis and Green Bay Packers punt returner Will Blackmon.

Brady completed 32-of-46 passes for 399 yards and four touchdowns in New England's 34-13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The eight-year veteran is four touchdowns shy of tying Peyton Manning's single-season record of 49 in 2004.

Brady's fourth award this season gives him two more than any other player in the NFL, including teammate Randy Moss.

Collins came off the bench to complete 15-of-20 passes for 224 yards and two TDs in Washington's 24-16 win over the Chicago Bears.

Entering a scoreless game, Collins tossed a 21-yard touchdown to tight end Todd Yoder in the first half and a 16-yard scoring strike to running back Ladell Betts in the fourth quarter to help Washington improve its record to 6-7.

Dumervil tied a career high with three sacks in Denver's 41-7 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Trufant hauled in a career-high three interceptions to lead the Seahawks to a crucial 42-21 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. The win clinched the NFC West Division title for Seattle.
