Clinton Portis Named NFC Player of the Week - For First Time as Redskin

Really?

After his multifacted performance against the Vikings, 20 rushes for 76 yards and a touchdown, five catches for 48 yards, one pass for 15 yards and a touchdown, Redskins tailback Clinton Portis was named the NFC Player of the Week. This is the first time Clinton has garnered this honor as a Redskin.

Which I thought was interesting, Clinton has been here since 2004, this is his fourth season as a Redskin and he has been one of the best players on the team. In the playoff run of 2005, the five wins to end the season, Clinton had at least 105 yards in each game and carried the ball at least 23 times in each game. It was before I started Curly R and was not paying as close attention but come on, is this really the first time he has deserved this award?

Hey Clinton, let's make it two this week.
