Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who threw six touchdown passes to tie an NFL record for a half in the blowout win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday night, was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week.

Rodgers won the award twice earlier this season. He now has a total of 11 weekly honors during his career.

Rodgers completed 18 of 27 passes for 315 yards along with the six scores, even while watching the final quarter-and-a-half from the bench in the 55-14 win. That gave him a two-game total of 10 touchdown passes (vs. only 15 incompletions) and a passer rating of 149.0.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett rushed for 112 yards and a pair of touchdowns in a 21-7 win over the Tennessee Titans to win the NFC offensive award.

Arizona cornerback Patrick Peterson took the NFC defensive honors after lifting the Cardinals to a 31-14 win over the St. Louis Rams with two interceptions in the fourth quarter, one of which was returned 30 yards for a touchdown.

Philadelphia Eagles running back and punt returner Darren Sproles took a punt back 65 yards for the score in a 45-21 blowout win over the Carolina Panthers on Monday night to win the NFC special teams award.

New York Jets safety Jaiquawn Jarrett had 10 tackles, two picks, a sack and a fumble recovery in the stunning 20-13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers to take the AFC defensive honors.

Kansas City Chiefs fullback Anthony Sherman forced a key fumble on a punt return and tallied three more special teams tackles in a 17-13 win over the Bills to earn the AFC award.
