Quarterback Kirk Cousins of the Washington Redskins, cornerback Xavier Rhodes of the Minnesota Vikings and kicker Roberto Aguayo of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the NFC Offensive, Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Week for games played the 11th week of the 2016 season (November 17, 20-21).
Last week, Cousins completed 21-of-30 passes for 375 yards, tied his season-high with three touchdown passes and threw no interceptions in a 42-24 win on Sunday Night Football. He recorded his team-record 17th career 300-yard passing game and finished the game with a season-high 145.8 passer rating.
Rhodes' 100-yard interception return touchdown was the longest in Minnesota Vikings history. It was also the NFL's first interception return touchdown of 100-plus yards since 2013 (Sean Smith, Kansas City Chiefs, 11/3/2013).
Aguayo nailed kicks from 31, 22, 41 and 36 yards in the win in Kansas City. The Chiefs had previously won 10 straight games at home and 17 of their last 19 regular season games. Aguayo's four made field goals are a career high and are the most by a Buccaneers kicker without a miss since 2011. This is his first NFC Special Teams Player of the Week Award.
