49ers' Gore takes home player of the week honors

49ers RB Frank Gore was voted Week 6 FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week for his contributions to the 49ers' 25-19 win over the Lions.

Gore ran for 141 yards and a score on 15 carries. He averaged 9.4 yards per carry, higher than any back with over 10 carries in Week 6.
