Cleveland wide receiver and punt returner Donovan Peoples-Jones was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week.

During the Browns’ 27-14 win vs. the Houston Texans, Peoples-Jones recorded a 76-yard punt-return touchdown to give Cleveland the lead in the second quarter. It marked the second punt-return touchdown in the NFL this season and was the first by a Browns player since 2015.

It is Peoples-Jones’ first-career Special Teams Player of the Week award and he is the second Browns player to win the award in 2022 after kicker Cade York won the award in Week 1.

In the NFC, San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Nick Bosa, a former Ohio State Buckeyes player, won the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his play during Week 13.

He had the most sacks by an NFC player in Week 13 and his forced fumble in the fourth quarter was returned for a touchdown to put the 49ers up by 16 points with less than two minutes remaining.

Bosa previously won the award twice in 2019. He and safety Malcolm Jenkins are the only former Buckeyes to win the award three times. 

Cincinnati running back Samaje Perine was nominated for the FedEx Ground Player of Week for Week 13 for his performance in the Bengals win over Kansas City.
