AFC
New England Patriots running back Dion Lewis is the AFC's Offensive Player of the Week, joining wide receiver Julian Edelman and quarterback-turned-kicker Doug Flutie as the only players in franchise history to win both the offensive and special teams awards. He racked up 153 total yards and two touchdowns against the Buffalo Bills.
Cornerback Mike Hilton is the first Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back to be named Defensive Player of the Week since Troy Polamalu in 2013. He made six combined tackles and three sacks in the Steelers' rout of the Houston Texans.
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker won the Special Teams Player of the Week Award for the second time in his rookie season. He went 5-for-6 from field-goal range while successfully making both of his extra-point attempts.
NFC
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley is the first NFC running back since the inception of the Player of the Week Awards in 1984 to win consecutive weekly honors. He has totaled six touchdowns and 456 yards over the past two weeks.
Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith picked off Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Hundley twice on Saturday to claim Defense Player of the Week honors. He added eight combined tackles for good measure.
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Damiere Byrd used his first kickoff-return touchdown of the season to win the Special Teams Player of the Week Award. He went 103 yards for his third touchdown of the season, after scoring two offensive TDs in Week 15. His season ended shortly after, as he was placed on injured reserve with a leg injury.
