Aaron Rodgers highlights NFC Players of the Week

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson and Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles were named NFC Players of the week in their teams' Week 10 wins.

Rodgers was awarded his third Offensive Player of the Week in 2014 with his six-touchdown effort in Green Bay's 55-14 win over the Chicago Bears. All six touchdowns came in the first half, joining Oakland's Daryle Lamonica as the only players with six TD throws in a half. He finished the game with 315 yards on 18-of-27 passing and no interceptions.

Entering the game with no interceptions on the season, Peterson picked off St. Louis quarterback Austin Davis twice in the fourth quarter to preserve the lead in Arizona's 31-14 win over the Rams. His second was returned 30 yards for a touchdown, the fifth return touchdown of his career. This is Peterson's fourth career Player of the Week award and the second on defense.

Sproles' 65-yard punt return for a touchdown in the first quarter of Philadelphia's 45-21 win over Carolina was his second of the season. Earlier in the quarter, he rushed for an 8-yard touchdown, making him the first player in NFL history to rush for a touchdown and return a punt for a touchdown in the first quarter of a game. This is his third Player of the Week award of 2014. He previously won the offensive honor in Week 2 and the special teams award in Week 4.
