Josh Allen and Brock Purdy named Week 2 NFL Players of the Week
Josh Allen and Brock Purdy were named the NFL’s Week 2 Players of the Week on September 23, after each quarterback guided his team to a victory in the league’s second-week slate on September 13. The second week followed a dramatic opening week in which the Chicago Bears posted a record-setting 59-point offense and the Buffalo Bills defeated the Houston Texans 36-31, while analysts highlighted emerging talent such as Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson. Power-ranking updates after Week 1 placed the Bills atop the list and later moved the 49ers to the top after their dominant win over the Rams, setting the stage for the quarterbacks’ standout performances.
