Week 18 of the 2024 NFL season had several memorable moments, and now it’s time for Fox Sports lead NFL analyst Tom Brady to name his latest 3 Stars of The Week.
Every week throughout the regular season, Brady will choose three players whose performances stood out to him the most. This week’s picks include a star running back who helped his team secure a first-round bye in the playoffs, and Brady also selects one player from each game he broadcasts as his LFG Player of the Game.
This week’s 3 Stars of Week 18 performed as follows:
* Jahmyr Gibbs: 23 carries, 139 rushing yards, 6.0 yards per carry, three rushing touchdowns, five receptions, 31 receiving yards, one receiving touchdown in 31-9 win vs. Minnesota Vikings
* Ja’Marr Chase: 10 receptions, 96 yards, one receiving touchdown in 19-17 win vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
* Mike Evans: Nine receptions, 89 receiving yards, cracked 1,000 yards receiving for 11th straight season in 27-19 win vs. New Orleans Saints
According to Brady, Gibbs “balled out with 170 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns” and led the league in touchdowns since Barry Sanders, while Chase “capped off a ridiculous season” and won the receiving triple crown. Evans, on the other hand, achieved the milestone of 1,000 yards receiving for the 11th consecutive season, tying Jerry Rice’s all-time record.
