Just confirmed as Browns starter, Jameis Winston (QB, Browns) is already rewarded. It must be said that the former Buccaneers pyrotechnician had a blast against Baltimore. 27/41, 334 yards, 3 touchdowns and a prestigious victory against division rivals. This deserved an award, the third of Jameis Winston's career, the first since 2019.
TJ Watt (DE, Steelers) is a regular. But with his 7 tackles, 2 sacks accompanied by a forced and recovered ball loss, it's difficult to miss. Daniel Jones and the Giants certainly have some nightmares about it. Calvin Austin (PR, Steelers) reaps the rewards of his punt returned for a 73-yard touchdown (plus a receiving touchdown). Definitely a bad day for New York.
Kirk Cousins (QB, Falcons) accompanies Jameis Winston on the NFC side. Not far from perfection (23/29, 276 yards, 4 touchdowns), he led Atlanta to a crucial victory against the Buccaneers. Welcome to the league Edgerrin Cooper (LB, Packers)! The rookie displays very good stats with 8 tackles, 1 sack and 1 forced turnover in the victory against Jacksonville. Kalif Raymond (PR, Lions) completes the march with his 190 yards in punt return (including a 90-yard touchdown). Enough to disgust the Titans.
