Packers QB Brett Favre is a finalist for FedEx Air Player of the Week honors, the NFL announced Tuesday.
Favre completed 28 of 45 passes for 369 yards and three touchdowns in the Packers' 31 - 24 victory over San Diego. Favre's third touchdown tied Dan Marino's record of 420 career passing touchdowns, the most in NFL history.
Fans can vote for one player in each category on NFL.com from 9am EST on Tuesday through 5pm EST on Thursday to determine the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week. The winners will be announced Thursday evening on NFL.com.
Fans will be voting for more than their favorite player. For the fourth season in a row, the weekly FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week Awards are a win for the local community. Along with the award, FedEx will donate $5,000 every week to the local children's hospital in each winning market. The children's hospitals in the two season-long winner's markets, announced at this year's Super Bowl, will be awarded $25,000 each. That means that FedEx will deliver nearly $250,000 to local children's hospitals around the country in recognition of the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week Award winners.
