Redskins Alfred Morris wins rookie of the week
Well, like the title reads, Washington Redskins tailback Alfred Morris won NFL Rookie of the Week honors for week seven. Morris ran for 122 yards on 20 carries against the defending Super Bowl champiion New York Giants last Sunday in a 27-23 Redskins loss.
Morris now has 658 rushing yards, third in the NFL behind Adrian Peterson [who has played one more game] and Arian Foster [who has one more yard]. Morris is averaging 94 rushing yards per game, which puts him on a pace to rush for just over 1500 yards in his rookie season. Morris' 4.8 yards per carry is fifth in the NFL among rushers with at least 100 attempts.
