10 receptions, 193 yards, 1 touchdown, and as a bonus a decisive and already legendary catch ball on a pass from 32 yards, the presence of Justin Jefferson (WR, Vikings) in the NFC players of the week will not surprise anyone. The Vikings receiver broke his record for yards in a game and displayed his class in the overtime victory against the Bills (33-30).
The great story of the week is for Devin White (LB, Buccaneers). The Floridian was omnipresent against Seattle in Munich this Sunday (2 sacks, 1 tackle for loss) after the death of his father last Thursday.
On the AFC side, Jonathan Taylor (RB, Colts) made an impression on his return to competition against the Raiders (147 yards, 1 TD on the run) while Alex Highsmith (LB, Steelers) took advantage of the better than that of his partner TJ Watt to martyrize the attack of the Saints with 2 sacks and a tackle for loss.
