Players who filled up the box score in Week 11 (VIDEO)
Doug Martin, running back, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Buccaneers steamrolled the Philadelphia Eagles, 45-17, thanks in large part to the efforts of Martin. The 26-year-old running back rushed for a season-high 235 yards on 27 carries, including a long sprint of 84 yards. After his strong showing against the Eagles, Martin needs fewer than 60 yards to eclipse 1,000 yards for the first time since his rookie season. The Buccaneers are 5-5 and alive in the NFC playoff hunt behind their charging fourth-year back.

Martin wasn’t the only Buccaneer who went off against the Eagles on Sunday. Winston also enjoyed the finest outing of his rookie season. He completed 65.5 percent of his passes for 246 yards and five touchdowns. Meanwhile, Newton was putting up nearly identical statistics in a 44-16 trouncing of the Redskins. Newton completed 61.8 percent of his passes and also finished with 246 yards and five touchdowns.
DeAndre Hopkins, wide receiver, Houston Texans
The Texans got the better of the Jets in this game’s marquee matchup, as Hopkins repeatedly torched All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis. The third-year wideout caught five passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns. His 61-yard TD in the first half was the game’s longest play; his 20-yard TD in the second half proved to be the game-winning score in a 24-17 victory. Hopkins' dynamic playmaking has lifted Houston to 5-5, giving the team a share of first place in the AFC South.
