D’Andre Swift nominated for FedEx Ground Player of the Week for 2nd week in a row

For the second week in a row, Detroit Lions running back D’Andre Swift is one of three finalists for the FedEx Ground Player of the Week.

Swift ran for 136 yards and a touchdown on just 14 carries in Detroit’s 13-10 loss in Cleveland in Week 11. It was the second week in a row Swift topped 130 rushing yards. In Week 10, Swift hit 130 yards on 33 carries in the Lions tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He’s got some stiff competition in Week 11. Colts RB Jonathan Taylor ran for 185 yards and four touchdowns in Indianapolis’ romp over Buffalo. Bengals RB Joe Mixon is the other finalist after rushing for 123 yards and two TDs in Cincinnati’s win over the Raiders.
