Bijan Robinson, Sonny Styles & Myles Price Named NFC Players of the Week for Week 3
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, Washington Commanders linebacker Sonny Styles and Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Myles Price have been named the NFC Players of the Week for Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season.
Robinson earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors, Styles was selected as the conference’s Defensive Player of the Week and Price took home Special Teams Player of the Week following games played September 24 and 27-28.
NFC Offensive Player of the Week: Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons
Robinson dominated in the Falcons’ 35-14 road victory over the Green Bay Packers, leading the NFL in both scrimmage yards (213) and rushing yards (194) in Week 3. He also scored two rushing touchdowns.
The performance put Robinson into the NFL record book in two categories.
He became the first player in NFL history with at least 150 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in five consecutive road games. Robinson also became the first player ever to record at least 200 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in consecutive primetime games.
This marks Robinson’s third career Offensive Player of the Week award after previously receiving the honor twice during the 2025 season.
He joins Jamal Anderson, Gerald Riggs and Michael Turner as the only Atlanta running backs to win the award at least three times.
Robinson is also the fourth former Texas running back with at least three Offensive Player of the Week awards, joining Priest Holmes, Ricky Williams and Jamaal Charles.
NFC Defensive Player of the Week: Sonny Styles, Washington Commanders
Styles made his presence felt throughout Washington’s 33-31 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, recording five tackles, two passes defensed, a forced fumble and an interception.
The rookie linebacker became just the fourth rookie at his position since 2000 to record at least five tackles, two passes defensed, a forced fumble and an interception in the same game.
Styles joins Brian Cushing, DeMeco Ryans and Uani ‘Unga in accomplishing the feat.
This is the first Defensive Player of the Week award of Styles’ NFL career. He is the second Commanders rookie linebacker to receive the honor and the first since 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 — and the first to do it as a rookie.
NFC Special Teams Player of the Week: Myles Price, Minnesota Vikings
Price delivered one of the biggest special-teams plays of Week 3 in Minnesota’s 23-16 road victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, returning a punt 86 yards for a touchdown.
It was the first punt-return touchdown of the 2026 NFL season.
Price finished the game with 238 total return yards, the most by an NFL player in a single game since Nyheim Hines recorded 241 return yards in January 2023 with Buffalo.
This 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 honors this season, following Isaiah Rodgers in Week 2, and the first Minnesota wide receiver to receive the award since Cordarrelle Patterson in Week 8 of the 2013 season.
Price is also the second former Indiana wide receiver to win Special Teams Player of the Week, joining two-time winner Antwaan Randle El.
