NFL Wild-Card Weekend: Team of the Week & player awards

Offensive Player of the Week: TE T.J. Hockenson, Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings needed someone outside of Justin Jefferson to step up in the passing game, and Hockenson delivered in a big way, hauling in all 10 of his catchable targets for 129 yards and six first downs. The fourth-year tight end racked up 63 yards after the catch and caught all four of his contested targets. He averaged 4.16 yards per route run, second to only Deebo Samuel on wild-card weekend.

Defensive Player of the Week: CB Asante Samuel Jr., Los Angeles Chargers

Samuel put on a performance for the ages on wild-card weekend, ending the game with as many interceptions as passes allowed in his coverage.

Targeted a whopping 11 times on the day — only teammate Bryce Callahan was picked on more — the second-year corner allowed just three catches for 15 yards and a score. However, he also hauled in three interceptions and broke up two more passes, allowing a passer rating of just 30.3 on throws into his coverage.

Samuel earned a 94.3 coverage grade for his efforts, the best single-game mark of his career to date.
