Sunday's NFL games brought some crucial matchups for teams still trying to chase down playoff spots. Among the winning squads were the Philadelphia Eagles, Indianapolis Colts, and Minnesota Vikings. Here are five stars who stood out in the winning performances.
Nick Foles - Philadelphia Eagles

Aaron Rodgers - Green Bay Packers
In New York, the Jets and Packers put on a show as the two teams went into overtime tied 38-38. Aaron Rodgers rushed for a game-winning touchdown in the OT session but it was called back due to holding. However, a play or so later he found Davante Adams in the end zone for the game winner. Rodgers finished the day with 442 yards passing and two TDs thrown. Rodgers also ran for two TDs in his team's win.

CJ Anderson - Los Angeles Rams
With Todd Gurley out of action due to injury, running back CJ Anderson filled in. He did so admirably as he picked up 167 yards on 20 carries as well as a rushing touchdown. The Rams picked up a much-needed 31-9 victory to keep the No. 2 seed in the NFC, at least for another week.
