The New Orleans Saints put together their second consecutive win in impressive fashion routing the Cleveland Browns, 35-14.
They did so on the back of their explosive run game which piled on 214 total rushing yards and multiple scores. The player that led the charge on the ground has garnered the NFL’s weekly honors.
Saints do-it-all tight end Taysom Hill has been selected as the Week 11 NFC Offensive Player of the Week. Against the Browns, Hill ran for 138 rushing yards, three rushing touchdowns and also added eight receptions for 50 yards. In addition to that, he returned a kickoff 42 yards and completed an 18-yards pass.

Hill did it all on Sunday in a game that many expect could be the jumping off point for the usage of his versatile skillset. He may be classified as a tight end, but he also took snaps at wildcat quarterback, tailback, fullback and as a wide receiver both in the slot and out wide. He also chipped in on multiple special teams units.
This is the second time in his career Hill has earned Player of the Week honors. This time, he was picked over another enormous performance by Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff. The Lions’ passer threw for an impressive 412 passing yards and four touchdowns. He had a perfect 158.3 passer rating. However, that wasn’t enough to unseat Hill.
