Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
NEW YORK, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Rookie Houston Texans running back Steve Slaton is the AFC's offensive player of the week.
He earned his first player of the week honor after scoring two touchdowns on 21 carries for 130 rushing yards Monday night in Houston's 30-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Slaton is the first rookie to win AFC offensive player of the week in franchise history, and the effort helped him surpass Domanick Williams for most touchdowns by a Texans' rookie.
Also earning AFC honors were Indianapolis end Robert Mathis (defense) and Kansas City cornerback Maurice Leggett (special teams).
Mathis got his second player of the week honor for recording two tackles, two sacks and his 37-yard return of a fourth quarter fumble was the only touchdown in the Colts' 10-6 victory against the Cleveland Browns.
Leggett scored on a 67-yard second quarter run during a botched field goal attempt in the Chiefs' 20-13 win over the Oakland Raiders.
