Cowboys WR Miles Austin Named NFC Offensive Player Of The Week

In his first career start at Kansas City in place of Roy Williams (ribs), Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin’s 250-yard receiving performance garnered him the NFC Offensive Player of the Week award.

Austin finished with a career-high 10 catches for a club-record 250 yards with two touchdowns. Remarkably, entering the game, Williams and Patrick Crayton each had just 11 receptions in four games. Austin eclipsed Bob Hayes’ previous club record of 246 yards set 43 years ago on Nov. 13, 1966 at Washington.

Austin’s two touchdown receptions went for 59 and 60 yards, the game-tying score and the game-winner in overtime, respectively. His 250 receiving yards marked the most ever by a player in their first career start and he became just the 15th receiver in NFL history since the merger to reach 250 receiving yards in a single game.
