Quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa (Dolphins), Jalen Hurts (Eagles) and Kyler Murray (Cardinals) and running backs Derrick Henry (Titans), Tony Pollard (Cowboys) and D'onta Foreman (Panthers) are the nominees for FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week for Week 8, the NFL announced today.
Henry ran for 219 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries in the team's 17-10 win over the Texans in a record-setting performance. With the two touchdown runs, Henry set the franchise record for career touchdowns (75), breaking the mark previously held by former Titans running back Eddie George.
For the 2022-23 NFL regular season, FedEx is once again proudly working with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) to make donations of $2,000 in the name of the winning quarterback and running back ($4,000 total) to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) across the country.
Over the course of the entire season, select HBCUs will receive grants totaling more than $100,000 to support needs-based scholarships through the 2023-2024 school year.
