Chester Taylor in line for award...
Vikings RB Chester Taylor looks like a lock to win the FedEx Ground player of the week award after gaining a career-high 169 yards and one touchdown on 26 carries Sunday in Seattle.
The other two candidates weren't nearly as impressive.
Kansas City's Larry Johnson carried the ball 28 times for 132 yards and two touchdowns in the Chiefs' 30-27 victory over the San Diego Chargers, and the New York Jets' Leon Washington had 20 carries for 129 yards and two touchdowns in the Jets' 31-24 victory over the Detroit Lions.
While they scored one more touchdown each, Johnson and Washington didn't have as many yards, and Taylor had a 95-yard touchdown.
Results are announced later in the week.
Meanwhile, Taylor is the NFL's second-leading rusher, after Tiki Barber of the New York Giants surpassed him Monday night in Dallas. Barber leads the league with 647 rushing yards, and Taylor is second with 590.

Chester is doing a solid job. It looks like the linemen are finally starting to get on a roll. Marcus Johnson and Hicks are the key. They got to hold up long enough so their players don't make plays from the backside.
John,
That was a good run. Thanks for the youtube link.
