Wide receiver Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons, defensive tackle Aaron Donald of the Los Angeles Rams and punter Jon Ryan of the Seattle Seahawks are the NFC Offensive, Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Week for games played the fourth week of the 2016 season (September 29, October 2-3).
Jones set a franchise record with 300 receiving yards on 12 receptions in Atlanta’s 48-33 win over the Carolina Panthers. He became just the fourth player in the Super Bowl era to record 300 receiving yards in a single game. Jones added a 75-yard touchdown, his sixth career touchdown of 70 yards. He also averaged 25 yards per reception, which is tied for the fifth best single-game average among receivers with at least 10 catches. Jones’ Week 4 performance vaulted him into the NFL lead with 488 receiving yards this season.
Donald received the award for the third time in the last 20 weeks. Donald had 1.5 sacks and forced a fumble as the Rams improved to 3-1 with a win over the Cardinals.
Ryan punted five times in the Seahawks' Week 4 win, dropping four of his kicks inside the Jets' 15-yard-line, including three at or inside the 10, leaving New York with unfavorable field position against a stingy Seattle defense. Ryan's five punts went for 203 total yards, including a long of 56, good for an average of 40.6 yards per boot, as none of his punts were returned by New York.
