The NFL announced its conference players of the week and the Arizona Cardinals’ Week 7 opponent had a very good candidate for an award.
L.A. Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker kicked and made five field goals in a 17-15 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night.
He was not the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. Those honors went to Cincinnati Bengals receiver Charlie Jones, who returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown in a 21-14 win over the Cleveland Browns.
It is understandable. Player of the week honors almost always go to players on teams who have won.
The Chargers lost.
These were the players of the week for each conference:
AFC players of the week for Week 7
- Offensive Player of the Week: Ravens QB Lamar Jackson
- Defensive Player of the Week: Broncos LB Cody Barton
- Special Teams Player of the Week: Bengals WR Charlie Jones
NFC players of the Week for Week 7
- Offensive Player of the Week: Eagles RB Saquon Barkley
- Defensive Player of the Week: Rams CB Cobie Durant
- Special Teams Player of the Week: Lions K Jake Bates
