Robert Kelley Nominated For Rookie Of The Week Award

Redskins running back Robert Kelley is proving the team made the right decision in sticking with him in the starting lineup, as his three-touchdown performance has him up for Rookie of the Week honors.

“Fat Rob” just kept running and the Green Bay Packers simply couldn’t keep up in the fourth quarter of the Washington Redskins’ 42-24 victory on Sunday night.

While Redskins running back Robert Kelley had just 56 rushing yards on 15 carries through the first three quarters, he caught fire in the final frame and finished the game with career highs in rushing yards (137) and rushing touchdowns (three).
