NFL announces Week 13 AFC and NFC players of the week

On Wednesday, the NFL announced the players of the week for the AFC and NFC in Week 13.

AFC

Offense: Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills

Allen was Herculean for the Bills in their 35-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers, completing 13 of 17 attempts (76.5 percent) for 148 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions and a 141.3 rating. The quarterback also scored a rushing touchdown and added a spectacular touchdown catch that you may have seen on highlight reels or social media this week.

This is Allen's third Player of the Week award this season, and 14th all-time.

Defense: Tarheeb Still, Los Angeles Chargers

Still was a defensive force in LA's 17-13 victory at Atlanta, with three tackles, three passes defensed and two interceptions, including a 61-yard pick-6.

This is the first POTW nod for the Chargers' rookie corner back.

Special teams: Kene Nwangwu, New York Jets

Nwangwu recorded a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the Jets' 26-21 loss to the visition Seattle Seahawks. He had 157 yards overall on three kickoff returns, and also recorded a forced fumble to earn his third-career POTW award.

NFC

Offense: Bucky Irving, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Irving recorded 185 scrimmage yards (152 rushing, 33 receiving) in Tampa Bay's 26-23 overtime win at Carolina, a career-high and league high for a rookie this season.

This marks the first POTW award for the first-year player.

Defense: Leonard Wiliams, Seattle Seahawks

The "Big Cat" had a massive game for the Seahawks against his former team (the Jets) as he recorded two sacks and blocked an extra point attempt.

However, his biggest moment of the game came in the second quarter as Williams spurred a Seattle comeback with a 92-yard pick-6.

This is Williams' third-career POTW selection.

Special teams: Braden Mann, Philadelphia Eagles

Mann's clutch punts helped the Eagles secure a 24-19 victory over the Baktimore Ravens, with five of his six punts landing inside the 20-yard line.

The 27-year-old earned his second-career POTW nod.
