Packers WR Davonte Adams, Giants S Landon Collins and Eagles KR Josh Huff named NFC Players of Week 7

Landon Collins

Wide receiver Davonte Adams of the Green Bay Packers, safety Landon Collins of the New York Giants and kick returner Josh Huff of the Philadelphia Eagles are the NFC Offensive, Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Week for games played the seventh week of the 2016 season (October 20, 23-24).

The second-year pro had two interceptions that directly led to 14 points, returning one pick for a touchdown and setting up the game-winning score with the other in the Giants' game on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams in London. Collins also contributed a game-high eight solo tackles in the Giants’ 17-10 victory over Los Angeles in Twickenham Stadium.

Last Thursday vs. Chicago at Lambeau Field, Adams caught 13 passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns. Those were career highs in all categories. Moreover, his 13 receptions tied him for second in the franchise record book for a single game. Don Hutson caught 14 and 13 passes in a pair of games back in 1942.

The Eagles had just fallen behind the Vikings 3-0 on Sunday afternoon, and that’s when Huff stepped up to make perhaps the biggest play of the game, running back the ensuing kickoff 98 yards to put the Eagles on the board for the first time. The return marked the first time in franchise history that the Eagles returned kickoffs for touchdowns in back-to-back weeks, after Wendell Smallwood ran a kick back the week before in Washington. The award is Huff’s second-career Player of the Week honor (Special Teams Player of the Week vs. Tennessee in 2014). He joins Carson Wentz (Offensive Player of the Week in Week 3 and Offensive Rookie of the Month in September) and Fletcher Cox (Defensive Player of the Month in September) among the list of Eagles to receive hardware this season.
