San Diego American Red Cross will receive a $2,000 donation in Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers' name after he was chosen for FedEx NFL Air Player of the Week for the third time this season.
FedEx NFL said Rivers won for his "outstanding performance" in last week's game against the San Francisco 49ers, where he threw for 356 yards and four touchdowns in the team's 38-35 overtime win.
Each week, FedEx NFL opens the poll for viewers to choose the top players: one for air and one for ground. Once the votes are tallied and the winners are chosen, FedEx makes a $2,000 donation to the American Red Cross in each of the players' names.
The Ground Player of the Week was Seattle Seahawk's Marshawn Lynch in their winning game against the Arizona Cardinals.
Rivers also took the win for his Week 2 and Week 4 performances, according to FedEx NFL. In Week 2, he threw for 284 yards and three touchdowns, and 377 yards and three touchdowns in Week 4.
