The NFL named its players of the week for both the NFC and AFC Wednesday morning. For the fifth time in eight weeks and for the fourth consecutive week, the game the Arizona Cardinals played produces one of the players of the week.
The problem is that only one of those players is on the Cardinals.
The latest from the Cardinals’ game is Minnesota Vikings linebacker Za’Darius Smith.
In the Vikings’ 34-26 win over the Cardinals in Week 8, Smith was a problem. He had seven tackles, three sacks, four tackles for loss and pass breakup. He led the NFL in sacks and tackles for loss in Week 8.
But his award continues with the trend of a standout performance in a game the Cardinals play.
Below are the other players to receive player of the week honors from Arizona’s games.
