09/26/2007 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, linebacker Keith Bulluck of the Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens wide receiver/kick returner Yamon Figurs were named the AFC Players of the Week for the third week of the NFL season.

Brady posted a career-best passer rating and tied his career-high with four touchdown passes in New England's 38-7 win over Buffalo. Brady completed 23- of-29 passes for 311 yards, engineering a pair of scoring drives with his team trailing midway through the second quarter. He also tacked on a four-yard TD pass in the second half before teaming up with Randy Moss on a 45-yard scoring strike down the right sideline to seal the victory and his eighth career Player of the Week award.

Bulluck tied a Titans' franchise record while nabbing a career-high three interceptions in a 31-14 Monday night trouncing of the New Orleans Saints. All three picks were tossed by Saints QB Drew Brees, with the first coming in the second quarter and the final two in the fourth.

Bulluck also became the first linebacker since Arizona's Ronald McKinnon (1988) to have three interceptions in a game. It is Bulluck's first Player of the Week honor.

Figurs became the third rookie in Ravens history to return a punt for a touchdown in Baltimore's 26-23 victory over Arizona. Figurs galloped 75 yards for his first career TD, and also returned two kickoffs for 64 yards.

This is Figurs' first Player of the Week award.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
