The Pittsburgh Steelers had some solid offensive performances in Week 9 against the Oakland Raiders. It was predominantly three performers who highlighted the stage. Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and DeAngelo Williams made up more than 75-percent of the team's offensive output, and one of those three players is taking home some hardware after their weekly performance.
It was DeAngelo Williams who was named FedEx Ground Player of the Week for his 27 carries, 170 yards and two touchdown performance which put the icing on the cake for Williams to win this weekly award given out to the NFL's best running back, as voted on by fans.
