Josh Allen, Jaylon Jones, Wil Lutz Named AFC Players of the Week

The National Football League has identified quarterback Josh Allen, cornerback Jaylon Jones, and placekicker Wil Lutz as the National Football Conference’s top players for Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season.

The All-Pro quarterback was sensational during the Buffalo Bills’ Week 3 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, finishing with a 76.7 completion percentage (23 of 30) for 263 passing yards and four touchdowns.

The former Wyoming standout also added six carries for 44 rushing yards. More importantly, the exceptional stat line that earned Allen AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors also helped the Bills maintain their undefeated record after three games.

Meanwhile, Jones helped the Indianapolis Colts preserve a 21-16 victory over the Chicago Bears, the team’s first win this season. The cornerback from Texas A&M was the AFC Defensive Player of the Week after collecting five tackles (one for negative yardage) and two interceptions.

His first interception occurred in the second quarter when Bears quarterback Caleb Williams tried connecting with wideout DeAndre Carter. Jones had his second pick in the third quarter on a pass intended for Rome Odunze.

Finally, Lutz was the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week after scoring 14 points in the Denver Broncos’ 26-7 victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In addition to his two extra points, he converted field goals from 33, 38, and 43 (two) yards.
