Winners of the Week, Week 13

Hi, here is my weekly winners of the week post:

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Tyreek Hill, WR, Chiefs
Statline: 6 receptions, 185 yards, 2 TDs
For the 3rd straight week, a WR is my blogs player of the week. Tyreek Hill has been having an amazing sophomore season and this game was the ultimate highlight of the season and may possibly have been the best game of his young career. Despite losing, the Chiefs put up a FIGHT! Chiefs QB Alex Smith bounced back and went off and part of the reason he went off was because of Hill. Hill is a top 3 fastest player in the NFL, maybe only slower than speedster rookie John Ross. He used his speed to advantage like he always does. One second Smith would be looking down field and throw a bomb downfield, the next second you would see Tyreek Hill like 10 feet ahead of his CB wide open for the TD. This happened twice in the game. Hill was everywhere. He was doing it all and he was so good. Tyreek Hill is a beast and his huge 185 yard, 2 TD game propels him to his first player of the week award on my blog!

TEAM OF THE WEEK: Seattle Seahawks (8-4)
Final Score: Seahawks 24, Eagles 10
For the 4th time this season, the Seattle Seahawks are my blogs team of the week. The Seahawks pulled off the upset of the week in the game of the week. Before the game, the Eagles were flying VERY high. They had the best record in the league at 10-1 while the closest teams behind them were 9-2. The Seahawks came into the game at a suspect 7-4 barely hanging on to playoff hopes. For the first time in maybe years, the Seahawks weren't favorites at their home stadium, such a hard place to win at. The Seahawks were just barely underdogs but they had their cleanest win of the season against the best team in the league. The Hawks right out of the gate were looking good. They opened up with a 10-0 lead after a field goal first drive and then a quick stop on the Eagles top 5 offense. By the end of the 3rd quarter, the Seahawks almost already were ready to be called the winners. They pulled off maybe the upset of the season and put every team in the NFC on notice. Russell Wilson had another superstar game which is routine now for the leading MVP candidate. He picked apart a great Eagles D. RB Mike Davis is his first starting game played very well and now has given the Seahawks someone in the backfield. Pass catchers on the Hawks all played really well and the O-line held up well enough but Wilson does need the O-line much anyway. The D was also SO impressive. It completely held the Eagles elite offense and picked him off. The best play of the game was when the Eagles were starting to make a small comeback and at the 2 yard line, QB Carson Wentz ran to try and get the TD and Seahawks DE Sheldon Richardson forced a game changing fumble to get the ball back. The Seahawks had a great game and now are back in the thick of the playoff hunt. This win was huge and it wins them team of the week on my blog.
