AS FEDEX AIR & GROUND NFL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

Quarterback TOM BRADY of the New England Patriots and running back AHMAN GREEN of the Green Bay Packers are the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week for games played on November 2-3, the NFL announced today. 

Brady completed 20 of 35 attempts for 350 yards and three touchdowns for a 108.0 passer rating in the Patriots’ 30-26 come-from-behind win over Denver.  He completed four of five pass attempts for 58 yards and the game-winning 18-yard touchdown pass on New England’s six-play 58-yard game-winning drive in the fourth quarter Monday night.

Green rushed for 137 yards on 21 carries in the Packers’ 30-27 win over Minnesota.  He also led the Packers with five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown.

Brady and Green were selected from among finalists in air and ground categories.  The other FedEx Express NFL Player of the Week finalists were New York Giants quarterback KERRY COLLINS, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback DONOVAN MC NABB and San Francisco 49ers quarterback TIM RATTAY, while New Orleans running back DEUCE MC ALLISTER and Arizona Cardinals running back MARCEL SHIPP were the other finalists for the FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week.
