NFL Honors: Arians coach of the year again

Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians was named coach of the year, Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray was voted offensive player of the year and New York Giants rookie wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was named offensive rookie in early results from the NFL Honors on Saturday in Phoenix.

Todd Bowles, Arians’ former defensive coordinator in Arizona, was selected assistant coach of the year in voting by The Associated Press. Bowles recently became coach of the New York Jets.

It’s the second time in three years Arians has been voted coach of the year. He led the Cardinals to consecutive 10-win seasons for the first time since 1974-76, when they were still in St. Louis.

Arians also was named coach of the year after the 2012 season, when he stepped in for an ill coach Chuck Pagano and led the Indianapolis Colts to an 11-5 record and playoff berth.

Murray led the NFL with 1,845 rushing yards and scored 13 touchdowns as he helped the Cowboys win a playoff game for the first time since 2009. He also caught 57 passes for 416 yards.

Murray’s best season in Dallas might have been his last; he will be a free agent in March and the Cowboys might not be able to re-sign him.

A lot of the credit for his season goes to an offensive line that included three recent first-round picks. Left guard Zack Martin finished second in offensive rookie voting to Beckham.

Despite missing the first four games of the season with a hamstring injury, Beckham outperformed a star-studded rookie class of receivers. The No. 12 overall pick in the 2014 draft caught 91 passes for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Tampa Bay rookie receiver Mike Evans finished third in voting.
