Wide receiver Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers, linebacker Matthew Judon of the Baltimore Ravens and kicker Stephen Gostkowski of the New England Patriots are the AFC Offensive, Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Week for games played in Week 11 (November 16, November 19-20).
Brown had 10 receptions for 144 yards, and three touchdowns, joining John Stallworth as the only two players in Steelers’ history to score three receiving touchdowns in two separate games. Brown got the Steelers on the board early when he scored on a 41-yard reception from Ben Roethlisberger on the team’s opening drive. He added a five-yard reception in the third quarter to give the Steelers a 23-14 lead, one where they would start to pull away from the Titans.
Judon registered two sacks and could have been credited with a third Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. His two sacks for losses of 12 and 13 yards came on the same drive.Judon also forced a fumble for one of the Ravens' five turnovers. He had seven tackles overall, which was the second-most on the team.
Gostkowski was 4-for-4 on field goals in the win over the Raiders, including a franchise record 62-yard kick with time winding down in the first half. He also connected on tries of 51, 40 and 29 yards. It marked the third time in his career that he has kicked two field goals of at least 50 yards in the same game. He had a 51-yarder and a 53-yarder vs. Arizona (9/16/12) and had two 53-yarders at Houston (9/22/16). It is also the 14th time in his career he has made four or more kicks in a single game.
