Both David Garrard and Chris Johnson are nominees for the NFL’s FedEx Air and Ground players of the week based on their performances in Week 5.
Chris Johnson registered two touchdowns and 131 yards on 19 carries to lead the Tennessee Titans past the Dallas Cowboys 34-27. Other ground nominees include running backs Matt Forte of the Chicago Bears and Ray Rice of the Baltimore Ravens.
David Garrard completed 16 of 20 passes for 178 yards, three touchdowns and just one interception to help the Jacksonville Jaguars knock off the Buffalo Bills 36-26. Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young and Detroit Lions quarterback Shaun Hill are also up for the award.
NFL fans determine the winners by voting at NFL.com/FedEx until noon, Friday Oct. 15. But there’s a special incentive for fans to vote for David Garrard.
Garrard is planning to make a $2,000 charitable donation to Safe Kids USA, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention of unintentional childhood injuries.
