Roy Helu takes a back seat in the backfield to Alfred Morris for the Redskins. But he took center stage during the 24-14 win in Oakland after Morris went out with a rib contusion.
Helu came on strong in the second half and finished with 41 yards on 13 carries and a a 14-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter that all but clinched it. He added two catches for 43 yards.
He will have a chance to rest and enjoy his success during a Week 5 bye.
