Bryant, Hill among NFL's Player of the Week winners

Dez Bryant's three-touchdown performance boosted the Dallas Cowboys to a win in Week 15 and it propelled him to NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors, too. Bryant is the first Cowboys wideout to win the award in December since Michael Irvin.

Detroit Lions safety Glover Quin is the NFC's Defensive Player of the Week. Quin recorded a safety in Week 15 and also intercepted a pass, tying him for the league lead with six. 

On special teams, Arizona Cardinals kicker Chandler Catanzaro gets the nod after going a perfect 4-for-4 on field goal attempts Thursday night, including two from 40-plus yards and one from beyond 50. The rookie also won the award in Week 6.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Jeremy Hill was named AFC Offensive Player of the week. Hill's 148 yards rushing and two touchdowns were a major factor in the Bengals' shutout win.

On defense, Denver Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib was acknowledged for his eight tackles, three pass knockdowns and one interception. It's the second Player of the Week award in Talib's career, and the first since leaving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

Kansas City Chiefs punt returner De'Anthony Thomas is AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. His 156 punt return yards in Week 15 are the most by a rookie in any game since 1977.
