The 2024 National Football League season continued with Week 18 on Sunday. Here are the top five performers from winning teams.

Gibbs found the end zone four times as he had three rushing touchdowns and one touchdown catch. In all, he had 23 rushes for 139 rushing yards, along with five catches for 31 yards.
2) Bo Nix
The Denver Broncos are postseason bound after a 38-0 thrashing over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Two of the touchdown passes went to Marvin Mims Jr. of Frisco, Texas.
