Bengals running back Kenny Watson is one of three finalists for FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week honors following his performance in last Sunday's 38-31 win over the New York Jets.

Subbing for the injured Rudi Johnson, Watson rushed for 130 yards on 31 carries and scored three touchdowns in helping the Bengals snap a four-game losing streak. It was Watson's third 100-yard effort in six NFL seasons.
