Jackson, Wilson, Crayton earn NFC weekly honors

Sports Network | October 28, 2009

New York, NY (Sports Network) - Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson, Arizona Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson and Dallas Cowboys punt returner-wideout Patrick Crayton have been named the NFC's top players for Week 7 of the NFL season.

The dynamic Jackson had a 67-yard touchdown run and a 57-yard scoring reception in the Eagles' 27-17 win over Washington to collect offensive player of the week honors. He is just the second player in team history to record a touchdown run and reception of at least 50 yards in the same game, joining Bosh Pritchard, who turned the trick in 1949. It's the second weekly award for Jackson.

Wilson garnered defensive accolades after registering five tackles, picking off a pass and recovering a fumble in the Cardinal's surprising 24-17 victory over the New York Giants. It is the third weekly award for the ninth-year veteran.

Crayton had a 73-yard punt-return touchdown in the Cowboys' 37-21 win over Atlanta to take home special teams honors, the first player of the week award of his career. He also added a five-yard TD catch in the triumph.
