Reggie Wayne - WR, Indianapolis Colts 10/30/2006
WR Reggie Wayne seemed to be the only receiver that Peyton Manning had eyes for on Sunday as the Colts beat the Broncos 34-31 in dramatic fashion. Wayne led all receivers in the game with 10 catches for 138 yards and 3 touchdowns. Darrent Williams was in coverage on Reggie Wayne most of the day and appeared to be giving him to much of a cushion which led to most of the catches he had in the second half. "I am not going to apologize to him," Wayne said. "I'm going to work just like he's going to work. When I'm out there, I just refuse to lose no matter who is on the other side of me. Like I said, my number was called today and he was on me."

Chad Johnson - WR, Cincinnati Bengals 10/30/2006
