Bobby Okereke and Azeez Ojulari - two players of Nigerian descent - starred for the New York Giants as they closed out their season with a party-spoiling 27-10 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
There were crucial moments at the end of the regular season for other African players, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' YaYa Diaby, the Detroit Lions' Levi Onwuzurike and the Kansas City Chiefs' Charles Omenihu.
Overall, it was not the most eventful week for Africa's NFL stars, with many likely preserving themselves ahead of the postseason, but where they did produce key snaps, those passages of play were among the most impactful of the season.
