After putting up the best game of his NFL career in the Minnesota Vikings’ 42-21 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, it’s only right that quarterback Sam Darnold get recognized for it. He got that recognition on Wednesday when he was named the NFC’s Offensive Player of the Week for Week 14.

Darnold completed 22-of-28 passes against Atlanta for 347 yards and five touchdowns in Minnesota’s victory.
