Blackmon honored
Cornerback Will Blackmon was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in Monday night's win over the Vikings.
Blackmon posted a career-long 76-yard punt return for a touchdown in the third quarter to give the Packers a 17-6 lead. He added three kickoff returns for 69 yards.
It was the second time in two seasons that Blackmon has earned the honor. Last year he received the accolade for his performance vs. Oakland (Dec. 9) when he scored his first two NFL touchdowns, returning a punt 57 yards for a score and recovering a fumble in the end zone for another touchdown on an Oakland punt return.
