It was an easy selection for the NFL.
For his efforts in Week 5 of the 2022 season, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week. The team now has a 4-1 record on the year.
Allen led his team to a 38-3 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, a game that was dominant from start to finish.

The QB finished 20-for-31 passing with a career-high 424 passing yards. Allen also had four touchdowns and an interception and added 42 rushing yards on five carries.
