Cincinnati Bengals running back Jeremy Hill had a fantastic afternoon in the friendly confines of FirstEnergy Stadium. Facing off an angry defense that felt slighted from his comments on Nov. 6, Hill powered through the line of scrimmage like a man escaping a Julia Roberts movie on date night.
At the end of the game, he rushed for 148 yards and posted two rushing touchdowns.
The performance earned him a nomination for Pepsi Rookie of the Week and the FedEx Ground Player of the Week.
FEDEX GROUND PLAYER OF THE WEEK
