Who were the NFL’s top stars in Week 11? Each Wednesday, the league unveils its weekly honor roll. See who the Players of the Week are below.

AFC Offensive Player of the Week

Buffalo Bills · QB

A one-man scoring machine, Allen racked up six total touchdowns to lead his Bills past the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 44-32, on Sunday, collecting his second Offensive Player of the Week this season and the 17th of his decorated career. Allen passed for three touchdowns and 317 yards, completing 19 of 30 passes, while rushing for 40 yards and three more TDs on 16 carries.

NFC Offensive Player of the Week

Carolina Panthers · QB

The 2023 NFL Draft's No. 1 overall pick earned his first-ever Player of the Week accolade following a career- and franchise-best showing. Young threw for a club-record and career-best 448 yards on 31-of-45 passing with three touchdowns in the Panthers' 30-27 win Sunday over the Atlanta Falcons. Young had no interceptions and a sterling 123.2 rating.

AFC Defensive Player of the Week

Miami Dolphins · LB

The NFL's leading tackler had a standout Sunday in Spain, helping the Dolphins to a 16-13 overtime win against the Washington Commanders with 20 tackles, giving him an NFL-best 125 so far this season.

NFC Defensive Player of the Week

Philadelphia Eagles · DT

Davis was instrumental in the Eagles' stellar defensive effort during a 16-9 Sunday night victory over the Lions. He had three pass breakups, leading a team effort that saw 10 in total. Davis added a tackle to the box score, as well.

AFC Special Teams Player of the Week

Denver Broncos · K

Lutz and the Broncos walked off as winners Sunday and with a commanding lead in the AFC West after he drilled a 35-yarder with no time left on the clock for a 22-19 win. The boot wrapped up a perfect day for Lutz in which he converted six kicks -- one extra point and five field goals, including a 54-yarder.

NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

Los Angeles Rams · P

Evans had an overall outstanding game in the Rams' 21-19 victory over the Seahawks on Sunday. Evans averaged 42.2 yards over six punts, with four landing inside the 20-yard line and one of the highlight-reel variety, a rarity for a punt as Evans put his foot to the definition of a coffin corner kick, putting a 50-yard out of bounds inside the 1-yard line to bury the Seahawks with 1:50 remaining.
