December 2, 2002 | Football
William Henderson - Green Bay Packers
Henderson caught two passes out of the backfield for only 5 yards, but his 1-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter helped the Packers (9-3) defeat their archrival, the Chicago Bears (3-9), 30-20 at Lambeau Field.
Sedrick Hodge - New Orleans Saints
Hodge recorded six solo tackles and one assist in the Saints (8-4) 23-20 victory over the team with the best record in football, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-3).
Julius Peppers - Carolina Panthers
The Panthers (4-8) finally picked up a win on Sunday, after dropping eight straight games, by defeating the Cleveland Browns (6-6), 13-6. Peppers, regained the NFL sack lead by recording his 12th sack of the season. Sunday may have been Peppers last game of the season unless the NFL overturns a four game suspension for violating one of the leagues banned substances.
Jeff Reed - Pittsburgh Steelers
In his second week with the team, Reed was 6-for-6 on his field goal attempts, including a 50-yarder in the fourth quarter that proved to be the game winner. The Steelers (7-4-1) edged the Jacksonville Jaguars (5-7), 25-23 in Jacksonville.
