Maybe if his offensive profile keeps expanding, Patrick Peterson can collect the whole set.

The Cardinals cornerback was named NFC defensive player of the week for his two-interception performance against the Buccaneers.

It was the first time he won the award, after collecting a pair of special teams player of the week honors as a rookie.

He joins teammate Calais Campbell, who won the special teams award in 2009, in double-dipping. But Campbell’s no threat to play offense, at least we don’t think so.
