Week # 16 and 17: Topps NFL Rookies of the Week

Chargers running back Ryan Mathews looked strong in a week 16 matchup with the Bengals, totaling a career-high 83 yards from scrimmage and notching his fourth touchdown of the season. The Fresno State product reminded many why he was the No. 12 pick in this year's draft with an average of 4.6 yards-per-carry boosted by a 23-yard dash to the end zone.


Jets running back Joe McKnight erupted for 158 yards on 32 carries in a week 17 rout of the Buffalo Bills. It was a redemptive performance for the fourth-round pick out of USC, who had struggled during the team’s minicamp and spent much of the regular season relegated to special teams duty. His 158 yards were the most by a Jets rookie since the 1964 season.
