Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett is named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this season after his 182 rushing yards and two touchdowns in Sunday night's win over the New Orleans Saints.

The NFC Offensive Player of the Week goes to Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy for his dominant performance Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. In a winning effort, Lacy tallied 125 yards and one touchdown on the ground, as well as 13 yards and another score as a receiver out of the backfield.

Oakland Raiders safety Charles Woodson is named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week after racking up eight tackles, three of which were for a loss, and one sack in Thursday night's win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The quarterback takedown saw Woodson become the only player in NFL history with at least 50 interceptions and 20 sacks.

For the second time this season, Seattle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor takes home the NFC Defensive Player of the Week award. Chancellor led the way in Seattle's dominant defensive performance against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals, tallying seven solo tackles and a total of eight on the day en route to a Seahawks victory.

AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors go to Buffalo Bills running back Boobie Dixon for his efforts on a blocked punt in a Monday night win over the New York Jets. Dixon also added 54 rushing yards and one touchdown on offense.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Josh Huff got things started Sunday with a 107-yard kickoff return touchdown in a win over the Tennessee Titans, earning him the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week award.
