Give Arthur Moats the Rookie of the Week Award for Christmas

As commenter JMU Rugby mentioned, Arthur Moats is up for NFL Rookie of the Week again. Vote here. This is Moats’ second week in a row that he’s up for the award. Let’s get out the vote and make sure Moats wins this week!

The nomination is recognition of another strong week of play for the linebacker. It was reported that he had 1.5 sacks after the game, but the NFL later went back and credited the half sack Kyle Williams. As ESPN.com’s Tim Graham explains, that might not have been a wise thing for the league to do:

The NFL has not announced it’s ceasing operations, but an announcement might be forthcoming.

On Wednesday, the league made the kind of decision it could regret.

It crossed Arthur Moats.

NFL statisticians took away a half sack from the surging Buffalo Bills’ rookie linebacker and awarded it to nose tackle Kyle Williams.

Bad move NFL. Bad move. You’re playing with fire Roger Goodell.
