Here's a look at the best and worst players of the week according to FO stats. It was definitely a week for the usual suspects to shine. Thanks to Doug Farrar for writing a lot of the comments, since I was out checking out my brother's band at the Middle East last night.

DVOA on AOL: Week 12
Here are the weekly team-by-team comments on DVOA, over at AOL. This week I talk about just how ridiculously consistent the ratings have been this year, possible secret weapons for the Cowboys against the Packers and vice versa, and a 35-year-old veteran whose success this season may surprise you as much as it surprised me.

Week 12 DVOA Ratings
Wondering how much Sunday night's surprising near-loss to the Eagles dropped New England's DVOA rating? Would you believe the answer is "not much at all?" The top eight teams all stay basically the same, while good things are happening in Minnesota and Ohio.
