Alvin Kamara, Jessie Bates, Austin Seibert Named NFC Players Of The Week

The National Football League has announced that Alvin Kamara, Jessie Bates, and Austin Seibert are the National Football Conference’s best players for Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season. All three players helped their teams win their respective matchups that week.

The Dallas Cowboys had no answers for Kamara as the New Orleans Saints running back finished with 115 rushing yards, 81 receiving yards, and four touchdowns (three rushing). Kamara had more points than the Cowboys, 24-19, scoring a touchdown in three quarters. The two-time All-Pro’s Week 2 numbers give him 198 rushing yards, 92 receiving yards, and five touchdowns for the season.

Meanwhile, Bates led the Atlanta Falcons with 12 tackles and two passes defended during their 26-23 Monday Night Football victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. More importantly, the Falcons’ offseason acquisition made the interception that sealed Atlanta’s first victory this season. In addition to that game-winning pick, Bates has 13 solo tackles and two pass deflections through Week 2.

Finally, Seibert scored the Washington Commanders’ last six points, including the game-winning field goal, to cap off their 21-18 victory over the New York Giants. He scored all of Washington’s points through a franchise-record seven field goal conversions in as many attempts. That’s not a lousy recognition for a player signed by Washington after their season-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Kamara and the Saints can maintain their undefeated record with a Week 3 victory over the Eagles. Meanwhile, Bates and the Falcons welcome the two-time defending Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. Seibert and the Commanders will visit the Cincinnati Bengals for a Monday Night Football game.
