Logan Ryan, along with teammate Kevin Byard, are perhaps two of the most under-rated players in their respective positions. I’m sure it doesn’t help playing for the Titans, mind you. In week eight, Ryan put in a solid performance that saw the cornerback make six tackles - including a sack - and an interception. His titan contribution (sorry) to the Tennessee defensive effort proved invaluable as they squeaked by the hapless Buccaneers by a score of 27-23.

NFC Defensive Player of the Week: Nick Bosa (San Francisco 49ers)

Man, you could make a truly compelling case that Nick Bosa is the best defensive player in the NFL right now. He is definitely the most unstoppable. The 49ers defense has crushed offenses all season, and the second overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft is a big reason why. In the 51-13 spanking of Carolina, Bosa racked up 3.0 sacks, four tackles, three tackles for loss and even a big time interception. This dominant outing brought his total sacks on the year to 7.0, whilst the rookie is tied for the lead in tackles for loss. Nick’s older brother Joey might feel frustrated that he didn’t take home the AFC award for defensive play after he crushed the Bears - the Bosa brothers are built differently. The 49ers have finally found the defensive linchpin that they have been lacking since the sudden retirement of Patrick Willis.

Offensive Play of the Week: Aaron Rodgers TD pass vs Kansas City Chiefs

I mean, this was just ridiculous. Aaron Rodgers has truly arrived for the 2019 season, armed with his case to be named the most valuable player in the national football league. As the fourth quarter began, Rodgers and the Packers were deep in the redzone in a tie game (17-17) against the Kansas City Chiefs. Rodgers had to evade the defensive cover that seeped through his line, back-pedalling before seemingly throwing the ball away due to the pressure in his face. Instead, the two-time MVP launched an inch-perfect dot to Jamaal Williams, who made an equally-impressive toe-tap grab. It was the pinnacle of a fine A-Rod performance as he steered the Packers to victory.

Defensive Player of the Week: Nick Bosa INT vs Carolina Panthers

I swear I’m not a San Francisco fan, they’re just this good. Nick Bosa, take a bow. Named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week by The British Playbook, this was the play that showed any casual fan his freakish athletic ability. The Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen snapped the ball and looked to dump it off to his running back, but Bosa leapt in the air and snatched the ball cleanly. The 267-pound defensive end then took the ball downfield, bulldozing and juking the backtracking Allen as well as stiff-arming Curtis Samuel. It was an immense play to cap a dominant performance from San Francisco.

The ‘Commander of the Tank’ Award: Brian Flores (Miami Dolphins)

This made me laugh a lot, so thanks for the chuckle go to the Miami Dolphins organisation and their tank commander-general - or head coach - Brian Flores. The Dolphins found themselves doing worryingly well against the Steelers, and were two touchdowns up. Not a win! Anything but a win! After proving that the Dolphins are indeed a professional football team, Miami just switched off. The play-calling deteriorated, their players stopped giving their all; they remembered that winning doesn’t win the right to draft first overall. Let’s be real, Flores knew what he was doing when he called a ridiculous blitz that resulted in a Pittsburg touchdown. In week eight, the Miami Dolphins ended all speculation regarding their goals in 2019: they want that first pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, and they will throw away wins to do so. ‘The Tank’ is on - well played, Brian Flores.
