NFL 2022 Stat Leaders: Top AFC Players After Week 14

Here’s who made it to the peak of the AFC statistical boards after another week of regular season football in the books.

NFL Week 14 saw some shuffling in the AFC after Chiefs–Broncos was flexed out of the Sunday Night Football schedule to make room for the quarterback battle of Chargers–Dolphins that was originally supposed to take place in the afternoon. The move ended up being great for Los Angeles quarterback Justin Herbert, who outshined his 2020 draft class peer Tua Tagovailoa by throwing for 367 yards while the latter threw for 145. 

The game in Denver was a nail-biter nonetheless, as the Chiefs escaped with a win despite a three-interception showing from Patrick Mahomes.

Following all that action and more, here is a roundup of all the statistical leaders in the conference as Week 15 approaches.
