The National Football League named New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill, Los Angeles Rams safety Kamren Kinchens, and Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Karl Brooks as the National Football Conference’s best players for Week 11 of the 2024 season.
Hill is the NFC Offensive Player of the Week after tallying 50 receiving yards, 138 rushing yards, and three rushing touchdowns in the Saints’ victory over the Cleveland Browns. New Orleans started a winning streak after dropping their previous seven matches.
Meanwhile, Kinchens is the NFC Defensive Player of the Week after tallying eight tackles, an interception, and a forced fumble in the Rams' victory over the New England Patriots. The rookie from Miami is one of the Rams’ fast-rising stars on defense, having been the NFC’s best defensive player in two of the last three weeks. He's the first defensive rookie since 2019 to win Defensive Player of the Week twice.
Finally, Brooks became the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after blocking Cairo Santos’ field goal attempt, which would have given the Chicago Bears the victory. Brooks added two tackles in the Packers’ seventh victory in ten games.

After their Week 12 bye, Hill and the Saints can extend their winning streak against the Rams in Week 13. Kinchens and the Rams will face the Philadelphia Eagles first before battling the Saints. Brooks and the Packers will play the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12.
