MVP
1. Jay Cutler, QB, Broncos (Last week's rank: 3): The Broncos' third-year sensation continued his scintillating start by connecting on 21-of-34 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns against the Saints. Though he relinquished his spot as the league's top passer, Cutler engineered the Broncos to another victory, and a surprising 3-0 record.
2. Donovan McNabb, QB, Eagles (1): In leading the Eagles to a hard fought 15-6 victory over the previously unbeaten Steelers, McNabb completed 24 of 35 passes -- including his first 15 in a row -- for 196 yards and one touchdown. He was intercepted once. Through three games, McNabb has completed over 66 percent of his passes. He sports an impressive 5:1 touchdown/interception ratio.
3. Tony Romo, QB, Cowboys (2): He continues to overcome his early game blunders with strong second half performances. He threw for 260 yards against the Packers, connecting with Miles Austin on a pair of deep strikes that helped slam the door.
4. Eli Manning, QB, Giants (NR): The Super Bowl MVP has completed 60 percent of his passes for 765 yards and connected on four touchdown passes while leading the Giants to a 3-0 record. Although his numbers aren't eye-popping, Manning's poise and leadership skills have keyed the world champions' strong start.
5. Trent Edwards, QB, Bills (NR): The second-year pro's is on the list after back-to-back clutch performances. In the Bills' come-from-behind win over the Raiders, Edwards rallied the team to 17 fourth-quarter points, including two scores in the final 6:23. Edwards has quietly completed 67 percent of his passes and thrown three touchdowns in guiding the Bills to a 3-0 start.
And he still has Jauron as coach of the year, along with Stroud in the running for DPOY.
