The weeks go by and look alike for Jalen Hurts. The pass rushers in force for the players of week 13.
Once again, in the NFC, it is on the side of the Eagles that the offensive player of the week 13 is distinguished. Indeed, author of an impressive performance against the Titans, the quarterback Jalen Hurts is again rewarded and becomes the second player of the season to achieve the double consecutive to this distinction. Josh Allen being the first in Weeks 5 and 6 in AFC.
On the AFC side, it’s also a double for Joe Burrow. Already distinguished in week 7, the Bengals quarterback led his team to victory against Kansas City with a touchdown in the last quarter that allowed the Bengals to take the lead definitively.
On defense, quarterback hunters are in the spotlight. In the NFC, Nick Bosa made life tough for Tua Tagovialoa with 3 sacks in the 49ers win over the Dolphins. In AFC, it is the Raider Chandler Jones who wins this distinction for the 7th time in his career. He also had 3 sacks in his team’s win over the Chargers.
In special teams, in AFC, the Browns have distinguished themselves against the Texans in this area and are logically rewarded. Indeed, it is receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones who inherits the trophy for player of the week in this category. Second Browns player to be distinguished in this category after rookie kicker Cade York in week 1.
In NFC, the Lions were impressive in attack against the Jaguars but also in special teams, the kicker Michael Badgley is distinguished with his 4 field goals and his 4 extra points converted without any failure.
