Arizona Cardinals
Some players go an entire year without breaking up three passes, but Antonio Hamilton Sr. managed three this week, the most of any player.
Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons have certainly missed Drew Dalman. The center had the highest PFF grade among all his peers when it came to run blocking with a 91.0 effort.
Baltimore Ravens
Another strong day for Lamar Jackson. He finished with both the highest big-time throw percentage of all quarterbacks in Week 15 at 12.5, and the highest PFF grade of all quarterbacks under pressure (91.1).
Buffalo Bills
A monster day for James Cook, as the Cowboys couldn’t stop him. He ended the day with some eye-popping numbers, including his seven runs of 10 yards or more, which were the most of any rusher this week.
Carolina Panthers
No guard had a higher PFF grade when the gap run blocking than Cade Mays‘ 88.7 score.
Chicago Bears
Only Drake London has won more contested catches than D.J. Moore‘s 13 this season.
Cincinnati Bengals
Jonah Williams had the most true pass sets this week without giving up a sack, hit or hurry. He managed 21.
Cleveland Browns
With 11 combined sacks, hits and hurries, no defender had more total pressures than Myles Garrett this week.
Dallas Cowboys
Tackle Tyron Smith has the highest PFF pass-blocking grade of any tackle on the season. His 89.1 has Christian Darrisaw in second place.
Denver Broncos
Russell Wilson is currently second of all active quarterbacks to throw at least 200 passes in terms of adjusted accuracy percentage. His score of 79.2% is bettered only by Tua Tagovailoa‘s 79.4%.
Detroit Lions
Only James Cook could match the eight forced missed tackles running the ball that David Montgomery managed this week.
Green Bay Packers
Over the past four weeks, Jordan Love has the fourth-highest PFF passing grade of all quarterbacks. His 85.0 grade is surpassed by only Brock Purdy, Patrick Mahomes and Tua Tagovailoa.
Houston Texans
Christian Harris was one of two defenders this week to manage four defensive stops in coverage along with the Saints' Alontae Taylor.
Indianapolis Colts
Julian Blackmon is tied with Jordan Whitehead with 19 defensive stops in the run game. That’s the highest figure for any defensive back.
Jacksonville Jaguars
A tough loss for Jacksonville despite Josh Allen‘s efforts. He had the best pass rush win percentage of any defender this week at 40.9%.
Kansas City Chiefs
With a pass rush win rate of 17.6%, Chris Jones currently sits fourth amongst all defensive interior linemen.
Las Vegas Raiders
A decent enough night's work for Aidan O’Connell. He had the highest PFF grade on deep passes for the week at 96.7, narrowly beating Matthew Stafford.
Los Angeles Chargers
Michael Davis led all defenders this week when it came to forced incompletions. He managed four, one more than both Antonio Hamilton and Ahkello Witherspoon.
Los Angeles Rams
Kyren Williams had two fumbles, but he also registered 11 runs for a first down. That was the biggest number of any rusher this week.
Miami Dolphins
This week, another Miami wide receiver led the league in yards per route run. Jaylen Waddle topped the charts with 5.92 yards per route run.
Minnesota Vikings
A disappointing defeat for the Vikings and Nick Mullens, but the quarterback did best all his peers when it came to play-action passing. His 90.9 PFF grade was the best of the week.
New England Patriots
With 37 catches without dropping a pass, Kendrick Bourne has the most receptions of any wide receiver without a drop.
New Orleans Saints
Pretty solid day in pass protection for the Saints, as they managed the rare feat of a perfect offensive line pass-blocking efficiency score of 100.0. Naturally, this was the best of the week.
New York Giants
With eight tackles against the run, A’Shawn Robinson had more than any other player. Because seven of them were defensive stops, he also ended the week with the highest run-stop percentage at 31.8%.
New York Jets
He is now just three ahead of Derrick Brown, but Quincy Williams has the most defensive stops of any defender in the league with 42.
Philadelphia Eagles
Jalen Hurts is matched only by Jordan Love when it comes to big-time throws against the blitz. The two have 11 each.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Only Aidan Hutchinson has more total sacks, hits and hurries lined up from the left than T.J. Watt. The Steeler edge has 68 to be three behind.
San Francisco 49ers
Nick Bosa is currently third of all edge defenders with a 23.1% pass rush win rate. Only Myles Garrett and Micah Parsons can better that.
Seattle Seahawks
37.7% of Geno Smith‘s deep passes have been classified as big-time throws in the PFF system. That is the highest percentage of all quarterbacks.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
No player caught more passes for a first down this week than Chris Godwin. The Bucs wide receiver finished two clear of the competition with eight.
Tennessee Titans
Since Will Levis came into the starting lineup, nobody has thrown the ball deep more than him. His 47 attempts are six more than Trevor Lawrence in second spot.
Washington Commanders
With 88 yards against man coverage, Terry McLaurin led all offensive players this week.
