NEWS UPDATE: Two players were named NFL Players of the Week.
Who had ‘NFL Players of the Week’ Tommy DeVito and Zach Wilson on their bingo card?
There was no “superstar” talk about New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito or New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson heading into Week 14 of the National Football League. Yeah, there was the usual talk about both players being starters for their respective teams — nothing more, nothing less. But that was all there was to it.
Now?
Both have made headlines after being named NFL Offensive Players of the Week, with DeVito winning in the NFC and Wilson winning in the AFC. And, no, this isn’t a joke, those aren’t typos, and this isn’t a fantasy land; it’s REAL. (RELATED: NFL Adds Brazil To International Games, Which I Like)
Yes, I am aware.
DeVito led the Giants to a 24-22 victory over the Green Bay Packers, completing 17 of 21 passes for 158 yards and a touchdown. Wilson, on the other hand, threw for 301 yards and two touchdowns while completing 27 of his 36 passes to lead the Jets to a dominant 30-6 victory over the Houston Texans.
What a week it’s been for Big Apple football, especially with how bad things have been for both the Giants and Jets this season, and now they have Tommy DeVito (who nobody’s ever heard before this year) and Zach FRIGGIN’ Wilson winning the NFC and AFC Offensive Player of the Week awards.
Just incredible.
