New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Two of the three players deemed the NFC's best during Week 5 of the NFL season -- Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson and Niners kicker Phil Dawson, represent the NFC West.
Joining Wilson and Dawson on the list is Green Bay Packers linebacker Julius Peppers as the top trio recognized for last weekend's performances.
Wilson fueled his club's 27-17 win over the Washington Redskins on Monday night by completing 18-of-24 attempts for 201 yards and a pair of touchdowns while adding 122 yards rushing. The Wisconsin product became the first player to amass at least 200 yards passing and 100 on the ground in the history of Monday Night Football.
Dawson accounted for 16 total points (five field goals, one extra point) in San Francisco's 22-17 victory over Kansas City last Sunday. He became the first 49ers kicker to finish a game at least 5-for-5 on field-goal tries since Jeff Wilkins on Sept. 29, 1996 against Atlanta.
Peppers, who is the only player in league history to accumulate at least 100 sacks with at least 10 interceptions, racked up three tackles, a half-sack and returned a pick 49 yards for a touchdown in the Packers' 42-10 demolition of Minnesota this past Thursday.
