Arian Foster Named AFC Offensive Player Of The Week...Again

by Tim on Oct 26, 2011 3:00 PM CDT in News

Just three weeks after being named AFC Offensive Player of the Week, Arian Foster is at it again, courtesy of the video game numbers he posted in Nashville during the 41-7 thrashing of Bud Adams' salaried employees. The beautiful reasons why he won this honor (which, as we all know, pales in comparison to the vaunted Samsung Game Ball of the Week award that we deemed Arian fit to capture earlier this week) again are after the jump.

-Foster rushed for 115 yards on 25 carries (4.6 average) with two rushing touchdowns and a career-high 119 receiving yards with one touchdown reception in a 41-7 win over the Tennessee Titans.
-Became the first player to have 100 yards rushing and receiving and at least one touchdown run and one touchdown catch since running back Brian Westbrook on September 23, 2007.
-Foster surpassed the 100-yard rushing mark for the second time this season and the 11th time in his career.
-He had a career-long 78-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter, tying for the longest scoring-pass play in franchise history.
-Foster’s 234 yards from scrimmage are the most in a game by an AFC running back this season.
-In his third year from Tennessee, this is Foster’s third career Offensive Player of the Week Award. He most recently won the award in Week 4 of this season.

Remember when Texans fans were worried about who was going to play RB heading into the 2010 season? Yeah, me neither.

Alas, no one will see Arian in primetime....

Maybe, Just Maybe

Houston’s game against the Falcons on December 4th will get flexed to SNF.

The current SNF matchup that evening is Colts v. Patriots, which seems unlikely to be what the schedule-makers thought it would be when the television schedule was originally announced.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

This would be great

So far, the Texans have never played on NBC. The last Sunday night game they played was broadcast by ESPN.

Doubt it.

I think NBC hates the Texans. I’ve barely heard them ever mention us…and if they do, it’s usually something negative.

Matt Schwab, Mary O' Williams, Adrian Foster, and Daniel Owens are my favorite Texans!

If Madden was still there, they would like us, because Madden appreciates the story

talking about the schedule on 610 earlier in the week. They were saying by mid-November, there will be opportunity to swap games. I believe the game with the most chance is our game with Atlanta. That would be pretty sick if we could get an NBC game this year.

Speaking of shitty games. Next week has a matchup between 2 teams coming off of combined 103-14 losses…. Ladies and gentlemen, the 2011 AFC South!!

God I love our division.

Check out the 4-3 defensive front in PFF’s weekly All “Had a Bad Day” Team.

And if you look at their QB rankings, Painter, Collins, and Gabbert are the three worst who meet a minimum snap requirement.

It's weird how these things go.

Remember when the whole division finished with a winning record?

Arian Foster: NOT a one year wonder.
