NFL Week 14 Team of the Week: Josh Allen and Puka Nacua Headline Squad

Each week, we offer up the very best of the NFL on a given Sunday, kind of like the fantasy football team you wished you had.

All year, we’ve picked one quarterback, two running backs, two receivers and a tight end — OK, this sounds a lot like a super-hindsight fantasy football team. We’re also recognizing an entire offensive line, a few select defensive stars and even a special-teams standout of the week.

Normally, we try to just highlight the Sunday slate of games, but there were three performances from Thursday night that were too good to ignore. So, let’s dive into Week 14:

I hear you: He was playing the Bengals defense! But Allen had a huge game in Sunday's 39-34 win with 251 passing yards and three touchdowns with no picks while also rushing for 78 yards, including a 40-yard touchdown. That's better than Seattle's Sam Darnold in an easy win, and better than Cleveland rookie Shedeur Sanders in a loss. 

Allen out-dueled Cincinnati's Joe Burrow, who had four touchdowns but threw two interceptions, yes, against a tougher defense.

Have we had a Tennessee player on here besides Chimere Dike? You rush for 161 yards and two touchdowns to double your team's win total in Week 14, we can find room for you on the team. 

It's been a long year for Pollard, who hadn't had a 100-yard game all season and had totaled two touchdown runs all season before Sunday. Nobody's been consistently trailing and not running more than Tennessee this season, but this was a game worth including here.

You could make a case for the Rams' Blake Corum just as a "Gosh, it'd be nice to have some new faces on here," but Gibbs was huge in Thursday's Lions win over the Cowboys, rushing for three touchdowns and adding 77 receiving yards to finish with 130
