Tua Tagovailoa earns AFC Player of the Week honors for Week 12

Tua Tagovailoa led the NFL in touchdown passes and passer rating in Week 12.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his dissection of the New England Patriots in a 34-15 Week 12 victory.

Tagovailoa finished the win with 29 completions on 40 pass attempts for 317 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions. His touchdown pass total and his 128.9 passer rating both led all NFL quarterbacks in Week 12.

While he’s the first Dolphins player to earn Player of the Week honors this season, Tagovailoa is no stranger to the honor. He earned the distinction once each in 2022 and 2023, and now joins Dan Marino as the only Miami quarterbacks to earn AFC Player of the Week honors at least three times. Marino was an 18-time winner.

Tagovailoa, who missed four games earlier this season due to a concussion, has now completed at least 70 percent of his passes in all five of his starts since returning to the lineup in Week 8. His 73.3 completion percentage leads the NFL.

Jameis Winston joins Joe Flacco in only Browns QBs to win these awards since 2022

Jameis Winston has been named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Cleveland Browns started quarterback Jameis Winston this past weekend and saw immediate dividends as they did with Joe Flacco a year ago.

Defeating the Baltimore Ravens, Winston threw for 343 yards and three touchdowns. Winston joins Flacco as the only Browns quarterback to win weekly awards for their performances under center, something Deshaun Watson has never done since coming over from the Houston Texans.

As a result, Winston has been named as the AFC Offensive Player of the Week. Flacco won this award for the Browns in Week 16 of last season. This was not the only award that Winston won this week, however.

He also took home the prestigious Nickelodeon NVP award as well. Flacco also won this award, getting slimed by former Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper, in Week 16 a year ago.

Sitting at 2-6, the Browns shockingly still have hope as the rest of the AFC is in the dumps with supposed contenders like the Cincinnati Bengals, Miami Dolphins, and New York Jets all down and sitting at least two games below .500 as well.

Can Winston pull the Browns up by their bootstraps?

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson named AFC Offensive Player of the Week

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in 56-19 win over Miami Dolphins

Lamar Jackson could be a few weeks from his second NFL MVP award, and he got a jump start on adding hardware, landing the AFC Offensive Player of the Week honor for Week 17.

In the 56-19 blowout win over Miami, Jackson posted the third perfect quarterback rating of his career after throwing for 321 yards and five touchdowns with only three incompletions.

Jackson also won the award after his Week 7 performance against the Detroit Lions, completing 21 of 27 passes for 357 yards and three touchdowns.

It’s the 10th time in his career that Jackson has been the AFC Offensive Player of the Week.

Browns WR Amari Cooper wins AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors

Was it ever in doubt?

Fresh off of setting a new franchise record for single-game receiving yards for the Cleveland Browns, Amari Cooper has been named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week.

On the day, Cooper racked up a massive 265 yards receiving and two touchdowns on 11 catches. Cooper joins kicker Dustin Hopkins to win an AFC Player of the Week honor, as Hopkins won the special teams award in back-to-back weeks this year for the Browns.

Since quarterback Joe Flacco took the reigns under center in Cleveland, Cooper has racked up 485 yards over the last four weeks. With two weeks left in the regular season, and then the playoffs, the Browns need this Flacco-to-Cooper connection to stay strong.

As the Browns take on the New York Jets today, Cooper is listed as questionable and will be a gametime decision. Looking to lock down their spot in the playoffs, the Browns will need Cooper as they go against Sauce Gardner and company in this one.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes named AFC Offensive Player of the Week

#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week after his incredible performance against the Raiders.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has brought home another award, being named AFC Offensive Player of the Week. Mahomes was 27 of 34 for 298 yards and two passing touchdowns, equating to a 122.8 passer rating in the Chiefs’ Week 12, 31-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Mahomes addressed the latest honor during Wednesday’s press conference with reporters. He shared the accolade with his teammates as they rebounded from poor offensive performances over the past few weeks.

“Yeah, it still means a ton. I mean, obviously, it’s an award for playing great football, which is hard to do in this league. And so I think it still means a ton, and it speaks to the team mostly.” said Mahomes, “I mean, most times, you win the game, and guys around you make plays to get those awards. And so it was a good week for us offensively, and we’ll try to keep it rolling.”

Mahomes has now won his ninth career AFC Offensive Player of the Week honor, quickly moving up the franchise’s all-time list.

Trevor Lawrence named AFC Offensive Player of the Week

Trevor Lawrence earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors for a 4-touchdown day against the Titans, just like last year.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors for his four-touchdown performance against the Tennessee Titans in Week 11, the NFL announced Wednesday.

Lawrence completed 24 of his 32 passes for 262 yards with a pair of touchdown passes to Calvin Ridley. He also added 17 rushing yards and a ran in a pair of touchdowns on his own. Lawrence became the first Jaguars quarterback to ever record two passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns in a game.

The Jaguars’ third-year quarterback earned the honor twice last season, including once for a game against the Titans that he finished with three passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown.

Prior to Lawrence winning the award for a Week 3 performance last season, no Jaguars player had earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors since David Garrard in 2010.

Through 10 games this season, Lawrence has 2,382 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, six interceptions, and a 92.2 passer rating.

Texans RB Devin Singletary named AFC Offensive Player of the Week

Houston Texans running back Devin Singletary has earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his 30 carries for 150 yards and a TD in Week 10.

For the third time in team history, the Houston Texans have back-to-back players of the week.

The NFL announced Wednesday running back Devin Singletary as the AFC Offensive Player of the Week. Singletary had 30 carries for 150 yards and a touchdown in Houston’s 30-27 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 10.

The former Buffalo Bill was the only player to go over 125 yards on the ground the past week, and the 150 yards is the ninth-best single-game total league-wide in 2023. Singletary is also the eighth player in team history to attain the 150-yard threshold.

The Texans now have had a player of the week 54 times, and it is the 19th time an offensive player has won the award. Singletary joins Blake Cashman and C.J. Stroud as the other Texans to win player of the week honors in 2023.
