Arizona Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald named 'NFC Offensive Player of the Week'

GLENDALE, AZ - Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald was recognized this week for his stellar performance in Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, earning the title of "National Football Conference Offensive Player of the Week."

The Cardinals took the field by storm, gaining yet another season victory against the Eagles in a 21-6 game.

Fitzgerald made a touchdown and had nine catches for 114 yards in Sunday's game. He also earned his 700th career reception and, at just over 29 years old, became the youngest person to do so during the game, according to a team news release.
