New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was rewarded for his performance in his first game back from a four-game suspension with the AFC Offensive Player of the Week award for Week 5. Brady completed 28-of-40 passes for 406 yards and three touchdowns in the Patriots' 33-13 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, landing Brady his 26th career Player of the Week award, the second-most in NFL history.

Buffalo Bills corner Nickell Robey-Coleman impressed with a two-interception, one-touchdown day against the Los Angeles Rams, earning him AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors. The fourth-year pro's 41-yard pick-six all but sealed the 30-19 victory in the Bills' favor.

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri just will not age. The 43-year-old went 5-for-5 in field-goal attempts on Sunday, nailing kicks of 26, 41, 46, 53, and 54 yards. He earned his 16th career AFC Special Teams Player of the Week award with that performance.
