Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy, Los Angeles Rams linebacker Nate Landman, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Kameron Johnson have been named the NFC Offensive, Defensive, and Special Teams Players of the Week for Kickoff Weekend.
McCarthy threw two touchdown passes and rushed for another in Minnesota’s 27-24 comeback win over Chicago, becoming the first quarterback since Steve Young in 1985 to erase a double-digit fourth-quarter deficit in his debut.
Landman tallied 10 tackles and forced a late fumble in the Rams’ 14-9 win over Houston, earning his first career honor.
Johnson secured Special Teams honors with a 54-yard punt return, the longest in Week 1, while helping Tampa Bay defeat Atlanta 23-20.
