NFL.com
Voters on NFL.com and via Sprint wireless service have made their choice. Kicker Nick Folk of the Dallas Cowboys is the Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week for games played Oct. 7-8, the NFL announced Friday.
Folk kicked a career-long 53-yard field goal with two seconds left to give the Cowboys an improbable 25–24 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football. Folk, who went 4-for-4 on field goals, also perfectly executed an onside kick to set up the game-winning field goal.
Folk was selected from among five finalists through fan votes on NFL.com and via Sprint wireless service. The other finalists were free safety Tanard Jackson of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, tight end Greg Olsen of the Chicago Bears, cornerback Aaron Ross of the New York Giants and running back DeShawn Wynn of the Green Bay Packers.
After the regular season, five players will be nominated for Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year honors. Fans can vote for the winner on NFL.com and via Sprint wireless service throughout the month of January -- just text the word PEPSI to short code 7777. Data and text messaging rates may apply. The winner will be announced at a press conference at Super Bowl XLII in Arizona.
This is Pepsi's sixth year as the official soft drink sponsor of the NFL and the third year that Diet Pepsi will present the NFL Rookie of the Week and NFL Rookie of the Year awards.
