Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown wins his fifth Player of the Week Award, having captured two offensive titles and three on special teams. Brown caught 10 of 13 targets for 144 yards and three touchdowns on Thursday night against the Tennessee Titans.

Linebacker Matt Judon recorded his second two-sack game of 2017 and also forced a fumble to help the Baltimore Ravens shut out quarterback Brett Hundley and the Green Bay Packers. His seven combined tackles were the second most he's recorded in a single game this season.

Stephen Gostkowski went a perfect 4-for-4 on field goals and 3-for-3 on extra point attempts in the New England Patriots' 33-8 victory over the Oakland Raiders in Mexico. Gostkowski used the high altitude to his advantage to kick two 50-plus yard tries, including a season long of 62 yards.

NFC

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram continued his second-half surge with 134 rushing yards and a touchdown on 11 carries against the Washington Redskins. It was Ingram's second consecutive game with at least 130 rushing yards, scoring four touchdowns over the two-game span.

Safety Landon Collins was the major reason for the New York Giants' best defensive performance of the season, holding the Kansas City Chiefs to just nine points. Collins recorded 15 combined tackles and his second interception of the season.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett returned five kicks for a total of 197 yards against the Atlanta Falcons, earning him NFC Special Teams Player of the Week. It marked the highest single-game return yards total since the 2016 rule change that moved starting field position to the 25-yard line following a touchback.
