The race for African NFL player of the week in week 13 came down to two African-born players in the Indianapolis Colts defense, with Samson Ebukam and Kwity Paye leading them to a 31-28 win over the Tennessee TItans.
Alvin Kamara, Chuba Hubbard, Brandon Aiyuk, YaYa Diaby and Arnold Ebiketie were among the other players of African lineage who had weeks to remember.

Although he and Paye both got two sacks, Nigerian-born Ebukam wins Player of the Week largely for the work he did which does not immediately show on the stats board.
