After his incredible breakout performance against the Patriots this past Thursday, rookie running back Cam Akers is your NFC Offensive Player of the Week in Week 15.
The second-rounder out of Florida State recorded his first game of 100+ rushing yards, finishing with 171 yards on 29 carries with no scores. He also chipped in 23 receiving yards on a pair of catches. The 171 yards on the ground were also the most by a Rams rookie back since Jerome Bettis all the way back in 1993.
Akers’ performance was largely thanks to a stellar outing by the Rams offensive line.
