OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: QB: Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Edge Nolan Smith, Philadelphia Eagles

Smith was dominant against the run as the Eagles defeated the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon, earning a 93.6 run-defense grade. He was solid as a pass-rusher, too, racking up three hurries from 20 pass-rushing snaps.

ROOKIE OF THE WEEK: WR Malik Nabers, New York Giants 

Nabers had the best game of his young career as the Giants ended the Indianapolis Colts postseason hopes on Sunday. He averaged 7.13 yards per route run, pulling in seven of the eight targets thrown his way for 171 yards, and he forced four missed tackles.

OFFENSIVE LINE OF THE WEEK: Denver Broncos

Despite the loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday night, the Broncos' offensive line had another impressive game. The line combined to allow just six pressures from 60 dropbacks.
