Cleveland Browns tight end Jordan Cameron continued to stand out this season in a thrilling victory vs. the Cincinnati Bengals.
Cameron caught 10 passes for 91 yards and one score, giving him five on the year. The Browns take on the Buffalo Bills at home this Thursday night. Both teams come into the game at 2-2. San Diego Chargers Antonio Gates had a season high in catches with 10 and yards with 136. Gates also added his second touchdown of the season to defeat the Dallas Cowboys this past Sunday. Gates has now had a touchdown in each of the past two weeks. Atlanta Falcons tight end and 13-time Pro Bowler Tony Gonzalez had 12 catches for 149 yards, and two touchdowns vs. the New England Patriots. Gonzalez and the 1-3 Falcons were defeated 30-23 in tough Sunday night football loss. All of the Falcons losses this season have been by seven points or less. The Falcons look to get back on target taking on the 2-2 New York Jets at home this weekend.
Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints won the battle against the previously undefeated Miami Dolphins. Brees threw for 413 yards and four touchdowns. Two touchdowns came to tight end Jimmy Graham who still leads all tight ends in touchdowns with six. The 4-0 Saints take on the 3-1 Chicago Bears this upcoming week. The Bears were defeated this week by the Detroit Lions who scored a season high 40 points. Reggie Bush, who sat out week 3 nursing a knee injury rushed for a season high 139 yards including a 37-yard touchdown run.

Manning threw for 327 yards and four touchdowns in the 32-point victory. Manning now has 16 touchdowns and zero interceptions on the season.
