SAN FRANCISCO -- Falcons linebacker Philip Wheeler's lasagna was declared the winner by legendary chef Emeril Lagasse on the Rachael Ray show on Friday.

Wheeler received a championship ring.

He competed against the Jets’ Damon Harrison Packers’ Randall Cobb and former Giants star Amani Toomer. They all cooked up their best game-day dishes.

Wheeler’s “Phil’s Famous Lasagna,” with his own recipe that includes mozzarella, ricotta, and cheddar cheeses, and a closely guarded secret sauce.
