Bills QB Josh Allen, Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving highlight Players of the Week

Who were the NFL's top stars in Week 13? Each Wednesday, the league unveils its weekly honor roll. See who the Players of the Week are below.

AFC Offensive Player of the Week

Josh Allen
Buffalo Bills · QB

Upon a snowy Sunday night, Allen scored touchdowns every which way, becoming the first quarterback in NFL history to record passing, rushing and receiving touchdowns in the same game. Allen's four-touchdown performance led the Bills to a 35-10 rout over the San Francisco 49ers. In total, Allen threw for 148 yards on 13-of-17 passing with two touchdowns, including one to himself. That came when he hit Amari Cooper on a pass and then scored after Cooper lateralled the ball back to him, which counted for his receiving TD. He also rushed for an 8-yard score.

NFC Offensive Player of the Week

Bucky Irving
Tampa Bay Buccaneers · RB

The rookie back continued to emerge as he propelled the Buccaneers to a 26-23 overtime win against the Panthers on Sunday. Irving ran for 152 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries. He also tallied 33 yards on three receptions.

AFC Defensive Player of the Week

Tarheeb Still
Los Angeles Chargers · DB

The Chargers rookie broke out in a big way to lead his squad past the Atlanta Falcons, 17-13, on Sunday. Still had two interceptions, including one he returned 61 yards for a score that would stand as the game-winner. He added three tackles and three pass breakups.

NFC Defensive Player of the Week

Leonard Williams
Seattle Seahawks · DE

There was no doubt Williams would get Defensive Player of the Week this time. A game after losing out on the honor to teammate Coby Bryant, Williams filled up the box score and the highlight reel during the Seahawks' 26-21 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. Williams had a 92-yard interception return for a touchdown -- the longest in NFL history for a player 300 pounds or larger -- along with a blocked extra point attempt, two sacks, four tackles and three tackles for loss. Williams is playing exceptional of late, and nabbed his third career Player of the Week accolade, and his first since Week 17, 2020.

NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

Braden Mann
Philadelphia Eagles · P

Mann was stellar in the Eagles' heavyweight battle against the Baltimore Ravens, which Philly won, 24-19, on Sunday. He punted six times, averaging 51.2 yards per boot with an outstanding 48.5 net average. Mann had the Ravens in bad field position throughout, with five of his punts landing inside the 20-yard line, two inside the 10 and one inside the 5.
