Montana, Thomas capture AFC honors
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Joe Montana and Derrick Thomas, who combined to lead Kansas City past the San Francisco 49ers in Montana's first game against his former teammates, earned NFL player of the week honors yesterday.
Also honored were Andre Rison of Atlanta, Hardy Nickerson of Tampa Bay, Brian Mitchell of Washington and Chris Mohr of Buffalo.
Montana was named AFC offensive player of the week after completing 19 of 31 passes for 203 yards and two touchdowns in the Chiefs' 24-17 win over the 49ers.
Thomas, who had three sacks, including one for a safety, was the AFC defensive player.
Rison was named NFC offensive player after catching 12 passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns in Atlanta's 31-13 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
Nickerson had 18 tackles for the Bucs in their 24-10 win over Indianapolis.
Mitchell returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown and set up another score with an 86-yard kickoff return in Washington's 38-24 win over New Orleans to earn NFC special teams honors.
Mohr, the Buffalo punter, won AFC special teams honors with a 45.7 average on six punts against New England.
'Husker to start at safety, not quarterback

It's not that Veland lacked the talent to get there. He once was slated the quarterback ahead of then-rookie Tomnie Frazier in the Cornhusker depth chart. Then another in a long series of injuries put the former Omaha high school star on the bench — again.
On Saturday, Veland, junior, will make that first start for No. 2 Nebraska.
But it won't be at the position he dreamed of playing
when he accepted his scholarship several seasons ago. Frazer will be the quarterback; Veland starts at safet
"It really means a lot to me," Veland said. "I hate to be starting under the circumstances I am, but to be play-
I really means a lot to me, Verland said. To be at the starting under the circumstances I am, but to be playing now and not to be hurt on the sidelines means a lot." Ironically, it was an injury that sent Veland to the defense for a new start on his Nebraska career, and it was an injury that provided the opportunity for his first start. Safety Mike Minter was lost for the season with ligament damage to the knee suffered on Sept. 8 against Texas Tech.
He faces a UCLA team ranked No. 13 in the nation.
