Saquon Barkley, Robbie Gould Pick Up Week 16 NFL Player Of The Week Honors

Saquon Barkley and Robbie Gould earned themselves this week’s NFL Offensive and Special Teams Player of the Week honors, respectively, after their impressive performances on the national stage.

Barkley erupted for 279 total yards and two touchdowns in the New York Giants’ win over the Washington Redskins. Barkley’s 189 rushing yards were the most yards he’d ever rushed for in a single game since entering the NFL in 2018.

This is the second time in his young career that Barkley has been given this award and the first this year. He’s the second Penn State offensive player to win the award this year. Buccaneers wideout Chris Godwin earned the nod a few weeks back.

Meanwhile, Gould accounted for 10 points in the San Francisco 49ers win over the Los Angeles Rams. The Penn Stater drilled the game-winning field goal as time expired to put the Niners on top 34-31. He finished the day 2/2 on field goals and converted all four of his extra points. This was Gould’s second game-winner of the season, with the other being just two weeks prior versus the Saints.

This is now the eighth time in his career that Gould has been named Special Teams Player of the Week. His most recent award came back in the penultimate week of the 2018 season.

Gould has been on a roll over the past three weeks after accounting for 32 total points for the 49ers.
