With the Cincinnati Bengals hanging onto their playoff qualification hopes by a thread, Joseph Ossai produced another performance to remember in their 30-24 week 17 win over the Denver Broncos - making him Africa's NFL Player of the Week.
Ossai, who was born in Lagos, Nigeria, picked up eight tackles, half a sack, a forced fumble and a pass defended in a superb all-round defensive display.
Other players with ties to Africa who had a gameweek to remember included Felix Anudike-Uzomah, Odafe Oweh, Nnamdi Madubuike, Uchenna Nwosu, YaYa Diaby, Emmanuel Ogbah, Olamide Zaccheaus, Matt Judon, Arnold Ebiketie and David Onyemata.
