Players of the Week 18: Jahmyr Gibbs takes off

Jahmyr Gibbs (RB, Lions) broke everything to allow the Lions to win first place in the NFC. With four touchdowns including three on the ground, he left Minnesota no chance. His involvement in the game has increased even more since David Montgomery (RB, Lions). He knew how to take his new responsibilities head on. With the return of the latter, the two runners will be able to reform their duo Sonic and Knuckles just in time for the playoffs, something to delight Detroit fans.

In the AFC, Bo Nix (QB, Broncos) was resplendent. The victory was necessary to validate Denver's ticket for the playoffs, it's done. And with manner. Author of a very promising rookie season, he also brings the Broncos back in post season for the first time in 9 years. The class. On defense, Trey Hendrickson (DE, Bengals) will console himself for the elimination of Cincinnati with the title of best sacker. He thus reached the mark of 17.5 sacks this season.

Alongside Jahmyrr Gibbs, Yaya Diaby (LB, Buccaneers) and Josh Blackwell (PR, Bears) complete the trio. The linebacker was very valuable in stopping a Saints attack ready to play a bad trick in Tampa. Blackwell allowed himself to bring back a hot punt and help stop Chicago's losing streak against division rivals (the Packers). Finally, Cameron Dicker (K, Chargers) was impeccable on the foot to calmly conclude the LA season.
