Who were the NFL's top stars in Week 10? Each Wednesday, the league unveils its weekly honor roll. See who the Players of the Week are below.
AFC Offensive Player of the Week
Taylor put on a show for all the world to see Sunday, running wild in Berlin as the Colts defeated the Atlanta Falcons, 31-25, in overtime on Sunday. Taylor tallied 286 scrimmage yards with 244 rushing yards on 32 carries (7.6 yards per attempt), setting all-time marks in scrimmage yards and rushing yards for an international game. He had three rushing scores as well, scoring from 1 yard, 83 and finally 8 for the game-winner.
NFC Offensive Player of the Week
In an offensive extravaganza Sunday in which the Lions throttled the Washington Commanders, Gibbs was a dynamo, stacking up three total touchdowns and 172 scrimmage yards in the 44-22 win. Gibbs had a 14-yard touchdown catch to begin the game's scoring -- one of his three catches for 30 yards. He added a 13-yard rushing score and a highlight-reel 43-yard TD as part of a 142-yard rushing effort on just 15 carries -- good for a whopping 9.5 yards per carry.
AFC Defensive Player of the Week
Down 19 points in the fourth quarter, the Texans pulled off an improbable 36-29 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday with Hunter leading a dastardly defensive effort. Hunter matched his career high with 3.5 sacks to go along with seven tackles, four tackles for loss and a forced fumble. In the fourth quarter, Hunter had a TFL and a sack on back-to-back plays to force a punt, and added a half-sack later in the final period.
NFC Defensive Player of the Week
In a performance for the books, Lawrence had not one, but two touchdowns on fumble recoveries during the Seahawks' 44-22 victory against the Arizona Cardinals. Lawrence became just the fourth player in NFL history to tally two FR TDs in one game. The stellar showing, in which he also had four tackles and half a sack, saw Lawrence first return a fumble 34 yards for a score in first quarter and then repeat the feat with a 22-yard return to pay dirt in the second stanza.
AFC Special Teams Player of the Week
Nwangwu got the Jets going in their 27-20 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, electrifying the home crowd with a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the first quarter. It was the first of two special teams scores on the day for Gang Green. Nwangwu had three kick returns in total for 143 yards.
NFC Special Teams Player of the Week
Shepherd was lauded for his special teams prowess after he blocked a field in the fourth quarter of the Saints' 17-7 win over the host Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Shepherd added two tackles, a sack, a QB hit and a tackle for loss in an effort that helped New Orleans pitch a second-half shutout.
