Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr has been nominated for Rookie of the Week. He's one of five rookies nominated for the award but the only defensive player.
Barr scored on a 27-yard fumble recovery during the first play from scrimmage in overtime to give the Vikings the 19-13 victory. He also had eight tackles and a sack on Sunday.
Fans can vote here on the award. Barr is the third Vikings rookie to be nominated for the award. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater won the award during Week 4, while running back Jerick McKinnon was nominated the same week.
