Blount AFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 17

This should come as a surprise to no one except Peyton Manning.

LeGarrette Blount wins AFC Offensive Player of Week honors

Awesome. Also deserves Special Teams Player of the Week.

Also, Dan's Man Crush of the Week honors.

Was thinking the same, definitely got snubbed.

He had a GREAT year, was an awesome pickup. Hopefully 3 more great games from him this season

Did they announce the ST winner yet? Who was it?

Also, pretty cool Tweet here by Blount:

What do both of these pics have in common???? The AMAZING blocking by my FULLBACK, O-LINE, and TIGHT ENDS!!!

Definitely some fine blocking. I even forgot Buffalo had an all-world rookie LB until I saw his name after the game.

Somehow, AFC Special Teams player of the Week went to . . . Adam Vinatieri.

For making three kicks, all under 40 yards. In a dome. :bricks:

Yes, it put him over 2,000 points in his career, but still.

Well deserved . Good job Blount ! I was so sure it would go to Manning and am glad I was wrong on that count.

and didn't some un-named kicker again surpass Benidict Arnold's FG/season record yet again Sunday?

Actually, I think we would be hard pressed to name a better performance by a PAT running back over the team's history--that is, when you factor in those amazing kick returns.

As to the coming games, May Blount stay healthy!! His height as a running back scares me in terms of a a knee injury--esp during those open field jaunts.

Gotta say: in the game thread, someone called him "Blount Force Trauma" ... and someone else was looking for a nickname rather than LaGarette.... we have our answer... :rocker:

The way that he runs, it doesn't seem likely. He is a slower guy, but, very hard to get down when he gets his steam going.

Actually that IS his nickname, he has a clothing line named that. The poster didn't make it up.
