The NFL announced that Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week after his Week 11 performance against the Green Bay Packers.
Cousins, 28, completed 21 of his 30 pass attempts for 375 yards and 3 touchdowns in the 42-24 win. His 145.8 passer rating was his highest single-game total of the season.
This is Cousins’ third time winning the honor. Cousins was named the Player of the Week in Weeks 7 and 10 last season. He has now joined wide receiver Art Monk (five), quarterback Mark Rypien (four) and wide receiver Santana Moss (three) as the only players in Redskins’ history to earn three NFC Player of the Week awards since its inception in 1984.
