It’s Wednesday morning. Which means it’s time to put a bow on the awards week.
And the prize, as always, is the prize. There is no money. There is no trophy. There is nothing. Other than the small amount of dopamine released for winners.
And maybe one or more of those mentioned as finalists.
Here are the award winners for week three, along with those who came close to getting nothing but satisfaction.
Offensive Player of the Week: Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.
For the 14th time in 64 career games, Lamar Jackson produced at least 100 yards passing and 100 yards rushing. He also scored five touchdowns against a defense led by one of the greatest coaches.

Other finalists: Eagles receiver Devonta Smith (eight catches, 169 yards, one touchdown); Jaguar quarterback Trevor Lawrence (262 passing yards, three touchdowns); Bear running back Khalil Herbert. (157 rushing yards, two touchdowns); Eagles quarterback Jalen will be hurt. (340 passing yards, three touchdowns); The hawk runs back Cordarrelle Patterson (141 rushing yards, one touchdown).

Rookie of the Week: Packers receiver Romeo Doubs.
The fourth-round pick in the 2022 draft could emerge as the best option in Green Bay’s passing game. He caught eight passes on eight targets for 73 yards and a two-point win over Tampa Bay.
Through three games, Dubs is the team’s leading receiver with 14 catches and 137 yards.
Other finalists: Saints Receiver Chris Olaf (nine catches, 147 yards), Falcons receiver Drake London (three catches, 54 yards, one touchdown), Colts receiver Jelani Woods (two catches, 13 yards, two touchdowns), Jaguars linebacker Devin Lloyd (Seven tackles, three passes defensed, one interception).
Coach of the Week: Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel.
The Dolphins have quickly embraced the trend, bolstered by the good faith of their first-year coach. On Sunday, the Dolphins repeatedly took the best punches the Bills had to offer and still managed to emerge with enough points to win.
The statistical differences were striking. Buffalo carried the ball for over 40 minutes. 497 yards to Miami’s 212. They had 90 total plays; Miami was 39.
But the Dolphins by 21 points, the Bills by 19. And Miami now has three wins, and no losses.
Other finalists are: Jaguars coach Doug Pederson, Eagles coach Nick Siriani, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski, Ravens coach John Harbaugh, Colts coach Frank Reich.
Game of the week: Steelers receiver George PickensOBJ type capture.
The Steelers quarterback in the first half of Thursday night’s game in Cleveland Mitch Trubisky He did what he had to do – believe that Georgia starter George Pickins is open, even if it doesn’t look like it.
The ball went in. Pickins reached up to grab a hand. This angle It makes it more amazing.
And while Sunday night in 2014 from OBJ It will always be more memorable, it can be argued that the Pickens catch was even better. First, he didn’t see the ball until the last second; Beckham had time to follow the throw and prepare to catch it. Second, Pickens turned around to adjust the momentum that had carried him in one direction. It wasn’t a change of direction for Beckham.
