In three games in the month of November, Cousins completed 84-of-116 passes (72.4 percent) for 1,086 yards with eight touchdowns and no interceptions for a passer rating of 124.4. His 362.0 passing yards per game led all NFL quarterbacks in the month of November.
In four November games, all Giants victories, Collins had 30 tackles (23 solo), including a sack, and three interceptions. Collins’ outstanding performance against the Eagles earned him his second consecutive NFC Defensive Player of the Week Award. He was the first Giants player to win player of the week awards in successive games, the first defensive player to win player of the week awards in consecutive games since Chicago cornerback Charles Tillman in 2012, and the first safety since Pittsburgh’s Troy Polamalu in 2010.
Prater tied for a conference-best eight made field goals and led the NFC with six 40 yard field goals in November. He was 3-for-3 on game-tying or game-winning field goals with less than 2 minutes to play, helping the Lions to a 3-0 record in the month. He earned a pair of NFC Special Teams Player of the Week Awards (Weeks 9 and 12) in November after converting a pair of game-tying field goals occurred in wins against the Minnesota Vikings that helped propel Detroit into first place in the division.
