He became the first running back with two receptions of at least 50 yards in one game since Eric Metcalf in 1992.

Fuller, the 14th overall pick in this year's draft, earned the defensive honor with two interceptions and six tackles in Chicago's win at San Francisco on Sunday night.

Ginn returned a punt 71 yards for the go-ahead touchdown as Arizona rallied beat the New York Giants on Sunday. He is the second return man to receive the weekly special teams award with three different teams, joining Darrien Gordon. Ginn also won with Miami and San Francisco.
