Redskins QB Kirk Cousins, Giants S Landon Collins and Lions K Matt Prater named NFC Players of Month for November

Quarterback Kirk Cousins of the Washington Redskins, safety Landon Collins of the New York Giants and kicker Matt Prater of the Detroit Lions are the NFC Offensive, Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Month for November.

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.

​Redskins QB Kirk Cousins, Vikings CB Xaver Rhodes and Buccaneers K Roberto Aguayo named NFC Players of Week 11

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.
