Bijan Robinson, Sonny Styles and Myles Price Earn NFC Week 3 Honors
Atlanta’s Bijan Robinson, Washington’s Sonny Styles and Minnesota’s Myles Price delivered standout Week 3 performances to earn NFC Player of the Week honors.
The NFL has named Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, Washington Commanders linebacker Sonny Styles and Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Myles Price as its NFC Offensive, Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Week for Week 3.
The awards recognize performances from games played Sept. 24 and Sept. 27-28.
Robinson Continues Historic Road Stretch
Robinson was one of the NFL’s most productive players in Week 3, leading the league with 213 scrimmage yards and 194 rushing yards in Atlanta’s 35-14 road victory over Green Bay.
The Falcons running back also scored twice on the ground.
With the performance, Robinson became the first player in NFL history to record at least 150 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in five consecutive road games.
He also became the first player in league history to post at least 200 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in consecutive prime-time games.
The award is Robinson’s third career Offensive Player of the Week honor, joining Jamal Anderson, Gerald Riggs and Michael Turner as the only Falcons running backs to win the award at least three times.
Robinson previously earned the honor in Weeks 6 and 17 of the 2025 season.
He is also the fourth former Texas running back to collect at least three Offensive Player of the Week awards, joining Priest Holmes, Ricky Williams and Jamaal Charles.
Styles Makes His Mark as a Rookie
Styles turned in a big defensive performance during Washington’s 33-31 win over Seattle, recording five tackles, two passes defensed, a forced fumble and an interception.
The rookie linebacker became just the fourth rookie linebacker since 2000 to record at least five tackles, two passes defensed, a forced fumble and an interception in the same game.
The award marks Styles’ first career Defensive Player of the Week honor. He becomes the second Commanders rookie linebacker to receive the award, following Brian Orakpo in Week 14 of the 2009 season.
Styles also becomes the fifth former Ohio State linebacker to earn Defensive Player of the Week honors, joining Pepper Johnson, Chris Spielman, Jonathan Cooper and Mike Vrabel.
Price Breaks Loose on Special Teams
Price provided Minnesota with a major spark in the Vikings’ 23-16 victory over Tampa Bay, returning a punt 86 yards for a touchdown.
The return marked the first punt-return touchdown of the 2026 season.
Price also finished the game with 238 total return yards, the most in a single NFL game since Nyheim Hines recorded 241 return yards for Buffalo on Jan. 18, 2023.
The honor is the first Player of the Week award of Price’s career. He becomes the second Vikings player to earn Special Teams Player of the Week this season, joining Isaiah Rodgers, who won in Week 2.
Price is also the first Vikings wide receiver to receive the award since Cordarrelle Patterson in Week 8 of the 2013 season.
The former Indiana standout becomes the second Hoosiers wide receiver to win Special Teams Player of the Week, joining two-time winner Antwaan Randle El.
Robinson, Styles and Price now join the growing list of NFC players recognized for standout performances during the opening weeks of the 2026 season.
