The NFL announced their Week 16 players of the week awards on Friday, with Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick taking the AFC Offensive Player of the Week honor. This marks the third time this season a Dolphins player was honored with a Player of the Week award, the previous two both recognizing kicker Jason Sanders with AFC Special Teams Player of the Week (Weeks 10 and 13).
Fitzpatrick threw for 419 yards and four touchdowns on 31-for-52 passing in Miami’s 38-35 overtime win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16.
