Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer and running back Cedric Benson were named winners of the FedEx Air and Ground NFL Player of the Week awards, the NFL announced Friday.

Benson rushed 37 times for a career-high 189 yards and a touchdown against the Chicago Bears, his former team, in Cincinnati's 45-10 victory last Sunday. Palmer completed 20 of 24 pass attempts for 233 yards and five touchdowns to help the Bengals remain in a share of the AFC North lead with a 5-2 mark.

With Palmer and Benson's wins FedEx is making a $2,000 donation to the Safe Kids coalitions in Cincinnati to support pedestrian safety improvements. Safe Kids USA is a national non-profit organization that works to prevent accidental injury among children.

Thank you to all Bengals fans for your votes.
