The Cardinals have both the NFC offensive player of the week and the NFC special teams player of the week after Sunday’s big win over the Bears.
Arizona receiver Larry Fitzgerald won his fourth offensive player of the week award, giving him the most player of the week awards of any active wide receiver in the NFL. And Arizona rookie David Johnson won the special teams player of the week award.
Fitzgerald had eight catches for 112 yards and a career-high three touchdowns. That put him at 101 career receiving touchdowns, the most of any active player. Fitzgerald also has 165 consecutive games with a catch, the NFL’s longest active streak.
Johnson returned the opening kickoff 108 yards for a touchdown, the second-longest kickoff return in NFL history. He also had a rushing touchdown, making him the first Cardinal since Hall of Famer Ollie Matson in 1958 to have both a kickoff return touchdown and a rushing touchdown in the same game.
