Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
NEW YORK, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson Wednesday was named the NFC's top offensive player for the week.
New Orleans Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins was given the defensive award and Arizona Cardinals kicker Jay Feely was chosen the top special teams player for Week 14 of the 2010 season.
Jackson was recognized for his career-high 210 yards, including a 91-yard touchdown, on four receptions in Philadelphia's win over Dallas. It's the fourth time he's won a weekly award in three pro seasons.
Jenkins had four tackles, three passes defensed and two interceptions, including one he raced back 96 yards for a score in New Orleans' win over St. Louis. It's his second weekly award in two pro seasons.
Feely became the first kicker in NFL history to score a touchdown and kick five field goals in Arizona's win last weekend. He also kicked four extra points.
