NFL Week 17: PFF Team of the Week & Player Awards

• Vintage Brady: Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady averaged 9.6 yards per pass attempt, recorded an 85.7% adjusted completion percentage and went 3-of-4 for 150 yards and three scores on passes thrown 20 or more yards down the field in Week 17.

• Guess who's back: It was Marshon Lattimore‘s first game since October, and he made his mark with a pick-six. Targeted eight times on the day, he allowed just five catches for 44 yards and just one first down, allowing a passer rating of just 37.5 on throws into his coverage.

• Kenny Pickett‘s big day: The Steelers' rookie quarterback recorded four big-time throws and not a single turnover-worthy play in the win, earning the best single-game PFF grade of his career in the process.
