With three weeks remaining in the NFL’s regular season, there is still plenty to play for, ranging from playoff berths to draft jostling. 

Week 16 saw a heroic rookie QB performance, a close call for the MVP favourite, as well as big wins for the league’s top teams. 

For the Australians, it was less feast and more famine in terms of team success, but that didn’t stop them from producing some impressive individual performances.

Aussie NFL Wrap-up: Week 16

Daniel Faalele – Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens claimed another win in Week 16, a huge divisional victory against rivals Pittsburgh. 

Faalele struggled somewhat, allowing two pressures on quarterback Lamar Jackson, but the team was able to take a commanding win. 

Tory Taylor – Chicago Bears

Limited action for Taylor in the Bears’ loss to Detroit, punting just three times in the game. 

Two of these were downed inside the 20-yard line, for a total of 121 yards. 

Jordan Mailata – Philadelphia Eagles

A strong showing from Mailata was not enough to secure a win for the Philadelphia Eagles this week, downed 36-33 by Washington after quarterback Jalen Hurts went down early in the game.

The Eagles scored two rushing touchdowns courtesy of Saquon Barkley, aided greatly by the blocking prowess of the Australia. 

Michael Dickson – Seattle Seahawks 

Dickson had his work cut out for him in Seattle’s loss Monday, punting five times for 262 yards. 

Two of these came down inside the 20, as the Seahawks lost to Minnesota by just three points.
