OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: MATT BARKLEY, BUFFALO BILLS

Matt Barkley shone in the Bills' preseason win over the Indianapolis Colts, going 14-for-15 with a pair of touchdowns. It was all pretty simple stuff, with no big-time throws and a long of just 22 yards, but Barkley took what was available and worked within the scheme to keep the Bills' offense moving.

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: TYCEN ANDERSON, CINCINNATI BENGALS

The 2022 fifth-round pick out of Toledo had his best performance on an NFL field in the game against the Green Bay Packers. In coverage for 22 snaps, he finished with two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown, on his way to a 97.1 PFF coverage grade.

ROOKIE OF THE WEEK: LB JACK CAMPBELL, DETROIT LIONS

Early returns on the 18th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft look very promising after his first outing for the Lions. The former Iowa standout was on the field for 25 snaps in total, finishing the game with two tackles resulting in a defensive stop and not allowing a reception in coverage.

OFFENSIVE LINE OF THE WEEK: CHICAGO BEARS

Impressive both in pass protection and in creating room for their runners, the Bears' offensive line combined to allow just three hurries from 24 dropbacks. They also had six players who saw at least 10 run-blocking snaps and earned a PFF run-blocking grade of 80.0 or better.
