Not Rueben Mayes, Chuck Muncie or even Hokie Gajan. So, move over Earl Campbell, Dwight Beverly and Craig Heyward. With his 27-carry, 102-yard effort Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, Ricky Williams etched his name in the Saints' record book. Following up his 1,000-yard effort in 2000, Williams now has 1,012 rushing yards this season. But Williams wasn't the only offensive weapon the Saints threw at the Panthers in a 27-23 victory. Quarterback Aaron Brooks was 26-of-40 passing for 330 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. One-half of his completions were to Joe Horn, who had 13 catches for 150 yards and the game-winning 17-yard TD with 1:31 remaining to play. Here are this week's Top Performers:
