rayray808 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) CRAZY STAT: Only 3 players have won this award in each of the last 4 years... 1) Josh Allen 2) Derrick Henry 3) Pat Mahomes I know there are two extreme sides of the spectrum with this award: the first camp being the "these fluff awards don't matter, I want Super Bowls" compared to the "Weekly awards = potential MVP's... LETS GO!". However, during a FOUR YEAR SPAN it is pretty amazing that only three players have won it, and each player on that list is a franchise level and generational talent. For me, this award makes me feel less worried that last year was a fluke and gets me genuinely pumped that every Sunday we have a QB that can potentially be the top offensive player in our division each week. It's been a looooong time for some of us, so regardless of our stance on the credibility of the award, hopefully it's something that can bring our fan base together. GO BILLS! EDIT: the verbiage is a bit confusing and took me awhile to understand also, so here is the simplest way to put it... In 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 the only players who have won the weekly award in EACH OF THOSE FOUR YEARS is Josh Allen, Derrick Henry and Pat Mahomes.

Think big, think the league, bro! Because it's true, Josh is at the very top of the league. He is a MVP candidate. He has the ability (within the offense that McBeane constructed) to make us almost unbeatable on any given week. He can raise us up that high, yes he can. Go Bills! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 So Allen has won it every year he's been in the league?? Can't recall any amazing games from his 1st two seasons, do remember last season was the 1st time he passed for 300 yards in a game. What did he do to win it the first two seasons? Bunch of rushing TD's?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbillievable Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 quick google search shows Ben Rothlisberger and Tyreek Hill won AFC offensive player of the week in 2020 also. That's just the 1st page of the search. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but are you saying out of the last 4 years...only 3 different players have won the AFC player of the week? Pro Football Reference (https://www.pro-football-reference.com/awards/players-of-the-week.htm) shows Lamar Jackson, Stefon Diggs, Big Ben, Watson, Tyreek Hill, Baker, Chase Claypool, Joe Mixon...just in 2020 alone. Or did you mean only 3 players to win it multiple times in the last 4 years? Because it shows Lamar won it twice last year... Seriously just asking for clarification. EDIT: in just 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018 I'm counting 26 different players having one it. Edited September 29, 2021 by Johnnycage46 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbillievable Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 It can't be Offensive player of the year either, because no one repeated, and Josh Allen didn't win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 At least once every year Josh Allen completed 32 of 43 pass attempts (74.4 percent) for 358 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions for a 129.8 rating and added a rushing touchdown in Buffalo’s 43-21 victory over Washington. This is the seventh-career Offensive Player of the Week award for Allen: 2018: Week 17 2019: Week 11 2020: Weeks 2, 9, 13, 15 2021: Week 3 Allen trails only Pro Football Hall of Famer Jim Kelly (10-time winner) for the most Offensive Player of the Week awards by a Buffalo quarterback. He joins Patrick Mahomes and Derrick Henry as the only players to win a Player of the Week in each of the past four seasons (2018-21). 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also pretty cool that Allen I think has won it 5 times in his last 19 starts. Been a pretty good run since the beginning of last season. Not to mention his player of the month last year.

LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 In the last 19 weeks Josh has won AFC offensive player of the week 5 times or 26.3% of the time. That in itself is an amazing stat and shows just how far he's come since the start of the 2020 season. Top 5 player in the player in the league during that span.

Also, the only reason he hasn’t won it 6 times over that time span is because he threw 3TD’s to Diggs last year in the New England Monday night game. Allen had 4 TD’s and 300+ yards in that game and would have won the award a sixth time if his 4th TD went to anyone else but Diggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protocal69 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Basically Josh Allen has won AFC Player of the week every year playing the Dolphins at the bare min. (2018- vs Dolphins) (2019- vs Dolphins) (2020- vs Dolphins) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
