It was of little surprise then that Henry and Murray brought home some accolades for their all-star efforts.
Murray, the Arizona Cardinals’ star quarterback, and Henry, the Tennessee Titans’ standout running back, were named NFC and AFC Offensive Player of the Week, respectively, as unveiled Wednesday morning.
Henry took over in the second half and overtime to key the Titans’ 33-30 win over the Seattle Seahawks. The reigning NFL rushing champion gained 182 yards on the ground on 35 carries and scored three touchdowns. For good measure, Henry added six catches for 55 yards.
