Patrick Peterson's 99-yard punt return in overtime against the St. Louis Rams won the game for the Cardinals, and Tuesday it won the rookie an award.

Peterson was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week Tuesday, marking the first time he's won the award.

Peterson becomes the sixth Cardinals rookie in team history to be selected as Player of the Week and the first since LaRod Stephens-Howling in 2009. Other Cardinals to win the honor are Steve Breaston, Bill Gramatica, Ron Moore and Lonnie Young.

Peterson's touchdown Sunday was his third of the season, an NFL record for a rookie in his first eight games.

    ESPN is biased and hypocritical
    I know we are 2-6 and the Rams were 1-6. I know we are a weak team in a weak division. However, we have never gotten any love from ESPN. Even when we push a game into OT with a blocked field goal and then had a history making punt return for a TD to win we get no attention. Fine, but be fair about this stop giving the attention to Denver who is 3-5. All they do is talk about TBOW this TBOW that. Hypocritical and stupid.
