As the NFL season races toward its end, every play carries playoff implications.
Week 13 of the 2024 season delivered electrifying moments that caught everyone’s attention, especially FOX Sports’ lead NFL analyst Tom Brady, who highlighted three standout performers in his weekly Stars of the Week.
Russell Wilson led the charge with a stunning performance for the Steelers.
Breaking a long-standing drought, Wilson became the first Steelers quarterback since Ben Roethlisberger in 2018 to throw for over 400 yards and three touchdowns.
Brady was particularly impressed by Wilson’s quarterback mastery, noting how he skillfully distributed the ball to 10 different receivers.
“He looked like a point guard out there. He threw completions to 10 different Steelers receivers. That is tough to do.” Brady said.
Congrats to @TomBrady‘s 3 stars of Week 13! ✨

The defensive spotlight was on Leonard Williams, who delivered a career-defining game against his former team.
Brady believes Williams was everywhere, recording two sacks, blocking an extra point, and executing an extraordinary 92-yard pick-six.
This play was especially remarkable, marking the longest pick-six ever by a defensive lineman weighing over 300 pounds.
With the NFC West title hanging in the balance against Arizona, Williams’ performance could be pivotal for the Seahawks’ playoff hopes.
Rounding out Brady’s top performers was rookie running back Bucky Irving of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Irving erupted against the Carolina Panthers, rushing for a career-high 152 yards and scoring a touchdown in a dramatic overtime victory.
Brady highlighted Irving’s consistent growth, praising how seamlessly he’s integrated into the Buccaneers’ offensive scheme.
As teams battle for postseason positioning, individual brilliance continues to define the narrative of this thrilling season.
Wilson’s quarterback precision, Williams’ defensive dominance, and Irving’s emerging talent represent the kind of exceptional play that makes December football so captivating.
