We have 14 weeks in the NFL record books, and even though we’ve already seen a lot of good and bad football, we can still be surprised.
That’s what happened on Sunday when we witnessed some epic performances.
With that in mind, NFL legend Tom Brady took to X to give some love to his three star players of the week.
Congrats to @TomBrady's 3 Stars of Week 14! ✨

He started with Sam Darnold, who put on a clinic in front of Kirk Cousins.
Darnold had arguably the best game of his career, completing 22 of 28 passes for 347 passing yards, five touchdowns, no interceptions, and a 157.9 passer rating.
The Vikings scored 21 points in the fourth quarter to pull away and get a 42-21 win over the slumping Atlanta Falcons.
Then, Brady tipped his hat to Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua.
The second-year pro had one of the catches of the season, helping his team stay afloat against the red-hot Buffalo Bills.
Nacua finished the game with 12 receptions on 14 targets for 162 yards and one touchdown.
Last but not least, he gave the nod to Josh Allen, who, despite his record-breaking efforts, couldn’t lead his team to a road win over the Rams.
Allen had an MVP-cementing performance in the win, becoming the first player in NFL history to throw for three touchdowns and rush for three more.
The Bills star completed 22 of 37 passes for 342 yards and three scores, adding ten rushes for 82 yards and three touchdowns.
