OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: QB JOE BURROW, CINCINNATI BENGALS

Burrow was dominant as the Bengals made a statement in their win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football. His four big-time throws were tied for the second most in the league this week, and he went the full game without a turnover-worthy play.

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: CB KENNY MOORE II, INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Moore was the difference in the Colts' win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 9, turning a pair of interceptions into touchdowns of his own. That led him to produce a 93.9 PFF coverage grade, allowing just 21 receiving yards on throws into his coverage.


ROOKIE OF THE WEEK: QB C.J. STROUD, HOUSTON TEXANS

After leading the Texans back from the brink of defeat against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Stroud was the obvious choice for this award in Week 9. His four big-time throws were tied for the second most at the position this week, and he set a record for the most passing yards in a game by a rookie.


OFFENSIVE LINE OF THE WEEK: BALTIMORE RAVENS

It was a relatively clean game in pass protection for the Ravens' offensive line, despite left tackle Ronnie Stanley being beaten for a strip-sack and a hurry. Center Tyler Linderbaum’s single hurry allowed was the only other pressure charged to the offensive line.
