PFT’s Week 2 2022 NFL Ratings – newsdubai

It’s time to hand out some awards. No trophy. No cash. Nothing but satisfaction.

Our weekly awards include Offensive Player of the Week, Defensive Player of the Week, Rookie of the Week, Coach of the Week and Game of the Week.

The highly specialized selection process consists of a measured application of analytical measurements and intricate mathematical models, combined with a careful study of the prevailing meteorological conditions and a consideration of relevant astrological circumstances and phenomena.

Actually, I ask the PFT writers what they think and then I come up with something. Here’s what we came up with this week.

Offensive Player of the Week: Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

The third-year quarterback had six touchdown passes in one of the most exciting games the Dolphins have played in years. Fifty passes. Thirty-six completions. 469 meters. A fantastic day.

He has definitely improved under the new coaching staff. And it’s not just head coach Mike McDaniel. Quarterbacks coach and passing coordinator Darrell Bevell has helped push Tua toward a ceiling few knew he had.

“Bev is definitely a hands-on coach,” receiver Jaylen Waddle told PFT by phone after Sunday’s game. “He is definitely very passionate about his work and passionate about working with Tua. He will show it in practice during the week, where he and Tua will have conversations about what they see and how it will help us win, especially in critical situations.”

There were several critical situations on Sunday and Tua came through in all of them.

Other finalists: Bills receiver Stephon Diggs (12 catches, 148 yards, three touchdowns), Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, 333 passing yards, one passing touchdown, two rushing touchdowns), Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill (11 catches, 190 yards, two touchdowns) ), Waddle (11 catches, 171 yards, two touchdowns), Packers running back Aaron Jones (15 carries, 132 rushing yards, two total touchdowns).

Defensive Player of the Week: Eagles cornerback Darius Slay.

Slay shut down his own receiver Justin Jefferson, intercepted a couple of passes and gave one of the balls to Sixers All-Star James Harden. Along the way, Slay re-entered the national conversation as an elite cover corner.

“I have a lot of respect, but you know how it always goes, the older you get, they think you fall off, but I’m not one of those guys,” Slay told reporters after the fight. “I’m still at elite level. I deserve a lot of respect. I think the league respects me enough. It’s just the media.”

Well, at least some in the media recognize what he did.

Other finalists: Cowboys linebacker Michah Parsons (two sacks), Buccaneers cornerback Jamel Dean (two interceptions), Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson (three sacks).

Rookie of the Week: Jets receiver Garrett Wilson.

The first-round receiver had more than 100 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the improbable win by the Jets.

For his second score, Wilson appeared as someone who had many more than two games under his belt. He explained to PFT after the game that he recognized the coverage as something the Browns had used earlier in the game against the same play.

So he decided to speed up his route, circle around a defensive back and find a gap in coverage. Quarterback Joe Flacco delivered the ball — and Wilson began delivering on his team’s belief that he would be a star in this league.

Other finalists Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson (three sacks), Texans running back Dameon Pierce (69 rushing yards), Cowboys left tackle Tyler Smith, Falcons receiver Drake London (eight catches, 86 yards, one touchdown), Jaguars linebacker Devin Lloyd (three. passes defensed, one interception).

Coach of the Week: Jaguars coach Doug Pederson.

New coach, same result.

Jaguars keep beating Colts in Jacksonville. Coach Doug Pederson, who won a Super Bowl with the Eagles, resoundingly beat his former Philly lieutenant, Frank Reich. For a league based on points point points, a shutout is a rarity. Pedersen constructed one.

And so the Jaguars are 1-1 in first place in the AFC South. Just like absolutely no one expected.

Other finalists: Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel, Jets coach Robert Saleh, Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni.

Play of the week: Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray’s two-point conversion.

It was fascinating.

It didn’t force overtime, but it did during Arizona’s 20-point comeback victory. Murray held the ball for more than 20 seconds when he covered almost 85 meters grass on the way to drive the ball into the end zone.

It was just part of the Murrays historic day where he became the first quarterback ever to have a passing touchdown, a rushing touchdown, a passing two-point conversion and a rushing two-point conversion in the same game.

Other finalists: Cardinals cornerback Byron Murphy Jr.’s game-winning fumble return for touchdown, Lions running back D’Andre Swift’s catch, fall, get up and run for touchdown, Patriots receiver Nelson Agholor’s 44-yard touchdown catch, Jets receiver Corey Davis’ 66-yard touchdown catch, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson’s 78-yard touchdown run, Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill’s 60-yard touchdown catch, Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson’s 99-yard interception return for a touchdown.
