He might not have gotten to the end zone, but Benny Cunningham did get some recognition.
The Rams return man was named NFC special teams player of the week, after his 102-yard kick return against the Buccaneers last week.
As hard as it is to believe, that didn’t get him to the end zone, as he was tackled at the Bucs’ 3-yard line. He had three other returns for 86 yards, and those weren’t bad on their own. But nearly going the distance was the highlight.
Cunningham hasn’t gotten much chance to carry the ball this year with the arrival of Todd Gurley and Tavon Austin becoming more of a factor in the run game, but he’s proving he can still be a weapon.
