Resurgent Peterson highlights Week 6's Players of the Week

AFC

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell had his best game of the season to lead a bounce-back victory over the formerly undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. Bell rushed for 179 yards and a touchdown on a hefty 32 carries and ties Hall of Famer Jerome Bettis as Steelers' running backs with three Player of the Week awards.

In the Houston Texans' first game without defensive stars J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus, cornerback Johnathan Joseph stepped up to help shut down the Cleveland Browns. His first two interceptions of the season included a touchdown return.

Already with a Player of the Month award on his mantle this season, Tennessee Titans kicker Ryan Succop added a Player of the Week title, joining Rob Bironas as the only kickers in team history to claim both awards in the same season. Succop went a perfect 5-for-5 on MNF against the Indianapolis Colts.

NFC

Recently acquired by the Arizona Cardinals following a failed free agent move to the New Orleans Saints, Adrian Peterson excelled with the workload entrusted upon him by his new team. Peterson's 134 rushing yards and two touchdowns powered the Cardinals to a win and won him his eighth career Offensive Player of the Week award - a number topped by just three retired running backs.

Defensive end Cameron Jordan is leading the impressive turnaround of the New Orleans Saints' defense. He recorded his first multi-sack game of the season against Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions, also scoring his first-career pick-6.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver/kick returner Pharoh Cooper scored a touchdown on the opening kickoff against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which was enough to earn him his first NFC Special Teams Player of the Week award.
