NEW YORK, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner has been named the NFC's Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this season.
Warner completed 22-of-32 passes for 285 yards, and his three touchdown passes led the Cardinals' 30-17 win over Minnesota Sunday night.
It also was the 12-year veteran's ninth POW honor, making him the first Arizona quarterback to be named NFC Offensive Player of the Week twice in the same season since Boomer Esiason in 1996.
Also earning NFC honors were Green Bay rookie linebacker Clay Matthews (Defense) and New York Giants kick returner Domenik Hixon (Special Teams).
Matthews, the son of former NFL great Clay Matthews, made a career-high six tackles with two sacks and a forced fumble in the Packers' 27-14 win over Baltimore.
Hixon had a 79-yard punt-return touchdown in the Giants' 31-24 win over Dallas.
