Brock Bowers debut honored with player of a week award

Tight end Brock Bowers earned the AFC Offensive Player of the Week honor on Wednesday following a standout performance in his first appearance of 2026. After recovering from a knee procedure that kept him sidelined for the opening two matchups, the second-year pass catcher hauled in 10 passes for 116 yards and scored once to help his squad defeat the New Orleans Saints 35-27 and move their record to 3-0.

Working under newly appointed coach Klint Kubiak, who deployed the playmaker across various alignments including out wide, Bowers delivered an immediate impact in his seasonal debut. This recognition marks the first weekly accolade of his career and contributes to a strong start for the franchise, which previously saw rookie cornerback Zeke Masses claim the defensive honor in Week 2.
