Another week, and another dominating afternoon from Rashaad Penny. The fourth-year Seattle Seahawks running back has absolutely surged in the second half of the season. Penny is averaging seven yards per carry over the last four weeks and racked up his third game of the year in which he rushed for 130 or more yards.
As a result, Penny received the FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week. Penny earned the award after rushing for 170 yards and two touchdowns in the win over the Detroit Lions. It is the second time this season that he’s received the award.
