It's time to present some prizes. No award. No money. Nothing else besides satisfaction.
The offensive player of the week, defensive player of the week, rookie of the week, coach of the week, and play of the week are among the weekly awards we give out.
The meticulous examination of current meteorological conditions, thorough evaluation of pertinent astrological situations and phenomena, and the use of analytical measurements and complex mathematical models are all part of the highly-specialized selection process.
Actually, I get the opinions of the PFT writers before coming up with a plan. This week, we came up with the following.
Tua Tagovailoa, the Dolphins quarterback, was named offensive player of the week
Six touchdown passes were completed by the third-year quarterback in one of the Dolphins' most exciting contests in recent memory. 50 minutes pass. 36 successful completions. 469 yards. A fantastic day.
He has unquestionably gotten better with the new coaching staff. And it's not just Mike McDaniel, the head coach. Tua has been pushed toward a ceiling that few people were aware he had by quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator Darrell Bevell.
After Sunday's game, receiver Jaylen Waddle spoke with PFT by phone and said, "Bev's obviously a hands-on coach." He clearly has a great deal of love for both his work and dealing with Tua. He'll demonstrate that during practice all this week, talking with Tua about what they observe and how it will help us win, particularly in dire circumstances.
On Sunday, there were a number of urgent circumstances, and Tua delivered on each one
Other contenders include Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill (11 catches, 190 yards, two touchdowns), Waddle (11 catches, 171 yards, two touchdowns), Bills receiver Stephon Diggs (12 catches, 148 yards, three touchdowns), Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (333 passing yards, one passing touchdown, two rushing touchdowns), and Packers running back Aaron Jones (15 carries, 132 rushing yards, two total touchdowns).
Darius Slay of the Eagles is the defensive player of the week
Slay shut his own receiver Justin Jefferson, picked off two passes, and threw one of them to James Harden of the Sixers. Slay eventually returned to the national conversation as a top cover corner along the road.
Slay told reporters after the game, "I have a lot of respect, but you know how it always goes, the older you get, they believe you are dropping down, but I am not one of those guys. "I'm still at the top of the game. I'm very deserving of respect. The league has my full respect, I believe. Simply said, it's the media.
At least some media outlets are aware of what he done
Other finalists are Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, Buccaneers cornerback Jamel Dean, and Cowboys linebacker Michah Parsons (two sacks) (three sacks).
Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson, rookie of the week
The first-round receiver helped the Jets pull off an unlikely victory with more than 100 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Wilson displayed the skills of a player with much more experience than just two games when he scored his second goal. After the game, he told PFT that he had seen the coverage because it had been employed against the similar play previously by the Browns.
He made the decision to quicken his route as a result, avoiding a defensive back and spotting a gap in the coverage. When Wilson received the ball from quarterback Joe Flacco, he started to live up to his team's expectations that he would become a star in this league.
Other contenders are Falcons receiver Drake London (eight catches, 86 yards, one score), Cowboys left tackle Tyler Smith, Jaguars linebacker Devin Lloyd, Texans running back Dameon Pierce (69 rushing yards), and Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson (three sacks) (three passes defensed, one interception).
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson is the coach of the week
Same outcome with a new coach.
In Jacksonville, the Jaguars keep defeating the Colts. Coach Doug Pederson, who won a Super Bowl with the Eagles, easily defeated Frank Reich, a former deputy of his from Philadelphia. A shutout is unusual in a league where the goal is to score points, points, points. One was designed by Pederson.
With a record of 1-1, the Jaguars now hold the first spot in the AFC South. precisely as nobody at all anticipated.
Coaches Mike McDaniel of the Dolphins, Robert Saleh of the Jets, Kliff Kingsbury of the Cardinals, and Nick Sirianni of the Eagles are the other contenders.
The two-point conversion by Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was the play of the week
It was captivating.
Although it didn't lead to overtime, it did occur during Arizona's 20-point comeback victory. Murray ran the ball into the end zone after holding the ball for more than 20 seconds and travelling approximately 85 yards of turf.
It was only a small portion of Murray's historic day, during which time he made history by being the first quarterback to ever have a passing touchdown, a rushing touchdown, a passing two-point conversion, and a rushing two-point conversion all in the same game.
Other finalists include Lions running back D'Andre Swift's catch, fall, and touchdown run, Patriots receiver Nelson Agholor's touchdown catch of 44 yards, Jets receiver Corey Davis's touchdown catch of 66 yards, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's touchdown run of 78 yards, Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill's touchdown catch of 60 yards, and Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson's interception return of 99 yards for a touchdown.
