The Week 2 candidates for Sunday Stud include four QBs who all had huge days. We're not 100 percent sure of this, but we feel pretty safe in saying two of them are the first brothers to appear on this list in the same day. The other two both led their teams to big division wins, one with his surprising arm and the other with both his arm and his legs.
The list is filled out by a running back who made it despite playing on a team whose quarterback threw for 352 yards. Hey, we couldn't take five QBs.
Each Sunday, you can vote on the five candidates for Sunday Stud.

Rex Grossman
The questions for the Bears all centered around the offense heading into the season and so far Grossman and Co. are answering all of them. Grossman completed 20 of 27 passes for a career-high 289 yards and four TDs as the Bears improved to 2-0.
Rudi Johnson
Carson Palmer threw for 352 yards, but we'll give the nod to Johnson in this game. Often overlooked on a team with Palmer and Chad Johnson, Rudi carried the ball 26 times for 145 yards and two TDs as the Bengals improved to 2-0.
Eli Manning
Dominated through three quarters, Manning led the Giants back to a huge comeback win in OT over the Eagles. Trailing 24-7, Manning led the Giants to 17 fourth-quarter points to send it to OT, where he hit Plaxico Burress on a 31-yard TD. He completed 31 of 43 passes for 371 yards and three TDs.
Peyton Manning
Manning couldn't let little brother Eli take the spotlight all to himself this week. Peyton completed 26 of 38 passes for 400 yards and three TDs as the Colts rolled over the Texans. In the game Manning broke Johnny Unitas' franchise record for completions.
Michael Vick
Vick did it through the air and on the ground as the Falcons improved to 2-0, with both wins coming against NFC South teams. Vick completed 10 of 15 passes for 92 yards and one TD and rushed for 127 yards and a score. The Falcons as a team rushed for 306 yards on the day.
