Brady, Vrabel nominated for online awards

Hey all --

Another week, another potential award for Tom Brady. At least one of his teammates
has a chance to get some shine this week too...

Mike Vrabel is one of five nominees for the GMC defensive player of the week for his 13 tackle (11 solo), three strip-sack, one offensive touchdown performance against Washington.

Also nominated are Philadelphia's Trent Cole (8 tackles, 2 sacks vs Minnesota), San Diego's Antonio Cromartie (2 tackles, 2 interceptions, 2 touchdowns vs Houston), Jacksonville's Aaron Glenn (4 tackles, interception returned for touchdown vs Tampa Bay) and the Titans' Travis LaBoy (three tackles, two sacks, forced fumble vs Oakland) .

Brady has been nominated for the FedEx Air player of the week honor, and is going against the Saints' Drew Brees (31-for-39, 336 yards, 4 touchdowns in win over San Francisco) and the Packers' Brett Favre (21-for-27, 331 yards, 2 touchdowns, including game-winner seconds into overtime) for the honor.

Against the Redskins, Brady was 29-for-38 for 306 yards and three passing touchdowns (plus two rushing).
