Congrats to Carlos Hyde, following his dominant performance against the Minnesota Vikings.
The San Francisco 49ers have their first weekly award. While Carlos Hyde came up short in his bid for NFC Offensive Player of the Week, he was voted "FedEx Ground Player of the Week". Hyde rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns on Monday. He beat out Chris Ivory (91 yards, two touchdowns) and Matt Forte (141 yards, one touchdown).
The award is entirely a fan vote, and obviously promotes an NFL sponsor, but it is cool to see Hyde get some national love.
