Jonas Gray Named AFC Offensive Player Of The Week
BOSTON (CBS) -- After rushing for over 200 yards and four touchdowns on Sunday, Patriots running back Jonas Gray has been named the NFL's AFC Offensive Player of the Week.
Gray ran for 201 yards and a team-record four touchdowns in New England's 42-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night. He had 100 yards in the first half and 101 yards in the second half to become the first Patriots player to have 100 yards rushing in each half.
With the performance, Gray became just the third Patriots player to rush for 200 yards in a game, and the first NFL player to score his first four career rushing touchdowns in one game since Herb Henderson of the Evansville Crimson Giants in 1921.
This marks the fourth AFC Player of the Week honor for the Patriots in 2014. Defensive end Chandler Jones was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his performance in the win at Minnesota on September 14, defensive lineman Chris Jones was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in the win vs. the New York Jets on October 16, and Julian Edelman was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in the win vs. Denver on November 2. Quarterback Tom Brady was also named AFC Offensive Player of the Month for October.
