For the second week in a row, Jordan Love won NFC Offensive Player of the Week. A well-deserved reward for the Packers quarterback, who helped his team qualify for the playoffs by beating the Bears. Highly anticipated at the start of the season, Love met expectations in a franchise accustomed to very high-level quarterbacks.
Forgotten from the Pro Bowl votes, Antoine Winfield Jr. was keen to show the voters that they were wrong. The Buccaneers safety was everywhere this Sunday, preventing the Panthers from scoring even a single point. Jamie Gillan also contributed to his team's victory. The Giants, to everyone's surprise, dominated the Eagles, and the fact that Philadelphia had to start many drives in its own 20 yards surely had something to do with it.
On the AFC side, CJ Stroud did like Jordan Love: a big game that allowed his team to reach the playoffs. On the Colts field, the rookie quarterback was almost perfect, and confirmed once again that he was indeed a player we will have to count on for years to come.
TJ Watt is no longer a newcomer, and everyone knows he is a constant threat. In the oven and the mill against the Ravens, he allowed the Steelers to qualify for the playoffs. Unfortunately, he is out of the game against the Bills with a knee injury. Buffalo who can say thank you to Deonte Harty. The receiver scored a 96-yard touchdown on a punt return. 7 points which made the difference for the Bills, who won the division in a surprisingly close match against Miami.
