Winners of the Week, Week 6

Hi, here is my weekly winners of the week post. Some quick news that the Raiders sign LB NaVorro Bowman and the Jags sign K Josh Lambo and cut K Jason Meyers. Here it is:

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Adrian Peterson, RB, Cardinals
Statline: 134 rush yards, 2 TDs
Just last week, who would have known that Peterson would have done ANYTHING good at all this season when he was still a member of the Saints, now just a week later, he is player of the week for my blog. Peterson was signed by the Saints this off-season but the fit clearly wasn't working so this past week Peterson was traded to the RB-needy Cardinals for next to nothing. Peterson was only on the team for a few days before being thrust into the starting job in his very first Cardinals game. Peterson had an insane game. He ran for 134 rush yards which was 50 more yards than he had rushed for the ENTIRE season in just one game. Peterson also scored a nice TWO touchdowns. One on the opening drive and one later on to keep their big upset rolling. When Peterson last played on the Vikings, it was the very beginning of last season. He was bad for the 3 game he played last year before his season ending injury. The year before that though in 2015, Peterson was a top RB. What I'm saying is Peterson hasn't had a game this good since 2015. This off-season the reason it took him so long to get signed was because he was a 32 year old RB who always got hurt and couldn't play well anymore. It really looked like that when he was on the Saints but now Peterson in just his first game on the Cards looks like he still "has it"! A.P. all day is back and I'm really excited to see what else he can do. What a debut game he had and it won him my blogs player of the week! What will he do next?

TEAM OF THE WEEK: New York Giants (1-5)
Final Score: Giants 23, Broncos 10
The Giants a week ago looked completely hopeless, a week later, the Giants look like the Giants of last year. The Giants came into the week at 0-5, one of the only teams without a win left. The Giants had lost star receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall and their D was not playing well. QB Eli Manning looked really old and bad. Looming was a tough match-up against the Broncos who seem like a really strong team. Then the game came and the Giants some how pulled off the upset and looked good while doing it! Eli Manning looked good. The Giants used TE Evan Engram as their feature pass catcher and it WORKED! Janoris Jenkins had a pick 6 and the rest of the Giants D did their job to take a huge win over the elite Broncos. Some say that this upset was a top 5 win in Eli Manning's legendary career. The Giants have another really tough match-up on tap coming this next week against the Seahawks but they hope they can expose their road weakness and take the win. The Giants looked really good in their upset over the Broncos and it won them TEAM OF THE WEEK on my blog!
