What happened: Brock Bowers was named the AFC's Week 3 Offensive Player of the Week. The recognition followed his return to action after a knee procedure earlier this month.

Why it matters: The award underscores how quickly Brock Bowers reasserted himself after missing time. Another productive outing would turn a one-game comeback into a clearer early-season trend.

By the numbers: Bowers has played one game this season, and PFF said he is the only tight end with a game of 10 catches, 100 receiving yards and a touchdown.

What to watch: Watch whether Bowers follows the award with another full workload in his next appearance. A second straight high-volume game would give the early sample more weight.
