Ryan, Luck lead Week 3 Players of Week

on

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck were named NFL offensive players the week for Week 3 on Wednesday.

Ryan ripped through Tampa Bay’s defense in a 56-14 rout of the Buccaneers last Thursday night. His performance earned him the NFC Offensive Player of the Week award for the second time in three weeks.

Ryan was 21 of 24 for 286 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions for a passer rating of 155.9.

Luck won AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors after passing for 370 yards and a career-best 140.4 passer rating in Sunday’s 44-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Luck’s four touchdowns tied his own career mark.

Seattle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor, who had an interception, one forced fumble, two passes defensed and nine tackles in the 26-20 overtime win over the Denver Broncos, won the NFC defensive award.

Falcons return man Devin Hester, who set an NFL record with his 20th career return touchdown when he brought back a punt 62 yards for a score and added a 20-yard score on an end around, took the NFC special teams award.

San Diego Chargers defensive end Corey Liuget, who had six tackles, one sack and a forced fumble in Sunday’s win over the Buffalo Bills, won the AFC defensive award.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker, who converted all three field goals — including the game-winner — and both PATs in the 23-21 victory over the Cleveland Browns, took the AFC special teams award.
