This weekend's gridiron action spurred fans to search. Here are the top 12 players surging in Buzz from week 7 of the NFL...

Ronnie Brown (+360%): Dolphins star RB out for the season with a torn ACL. Will Fins finish 0-16?

Wes Welker (+249%): Thanks to Randy Moss drawing double teams, this Patriots WR is going off. He snagged two more touchdowns this weekend to torment his former team. Sorry, Miami.

Vinny Testaverde (+244%): Ageless QB had the week off thanks to Panthers bye. Will the 43-year-old be under center against the Colts in Week 8?

Marion Barber (+241%): Cowboys RB scored his fifth TD of the season against the Vikes. He's averaging an astonishing 5.7 yards per carry.

Rudi Johnson (+237%): Bengals RB sat out game with Jets due to a groin strain. Backup Kenny Watson ran for three scores. A message to you, Rudi?

Ben Roethlisberger (+223%): Steelers QB committed three turnovers in the mile high air of Denver. Steelers couldn't overcome the mistakes and missed a chance to go 5-1.

Tony Romo (+205%): The darling of Dallas hurt his hamstring against the Vikings, but still managed to complete 80% of his throws. He'll have a week off to recuperate.

Jeff Garcia (+204%): Feisty Tampa Bay QB passed for over 300 yards, but his two costly fumbles doomed the Bucs.

Tom Brady (+191%): What else can you say? Six touchdown passes with a 84% completion rate. Plus Gisele. Will terrific Tom be stopped this season?

Troy Polamalu (+166%): The only player on defense to make our list, the Steelers safety with the Samson-like locks wasn't able to help stop the Denver offense.

Kurt Warner (+148%): Cardinals QB started despite torn elbow ligament in his non-throwing arm. But still! He almost led the Cardinals to an upset of the Redskins.

Vince Young (+130%): The Madden cover boy missed his vengeance game against the Texans with a bum quadricep. Well-traveled backup Kerry Collins led the Titans to victory in Vince's stead.
