PrintDenver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall will be named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for games played during the second week (Sept. 14-15) of the 2008 season, the National Football League informed the Broncos on Tuesday.
Marshall's selection as AFC Offensive Player of the Week marks the first such award of his three-year NFL career.
During the Broncos' 39-38 win against San Diego on Sunday, Marshall tied for the second-most catches in a game in NFL history with 18 receptions for 166 yards (9.2 avg.) with one touchdown. Marshall's reception total, which was double that of the next closest player for Week 2, was the highest single-game total in the NFL in eight seasons (Terrell Owens had a league-record 20 catches for San Francisco vs. Chicago 12/17/00).
In his last five games dating back to 2007, Marshall has posted the most catches in NFL history for any five-game period with 55 receptions for 577 yards (10.5 avg.) with four scores. He has totaled at least 10 catches along with 100 receiving yards in four of his last five games and leads the NFL in receptions (18) through Week 2.
A 2006 fourth-round pick (119th overall) by the Broncos from the University of Central Florida, Marshall now owns five 100-yard receiving games and four 10-catch games for his NFL career.
Marshall is the first Bronco to be named AFC Offensive Player of the Week since 2005 (wide receiver Rod Smith, Wk. 15 at Buffalo). His selection marks the 42nd time a Broncos player has received AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors since the award was initiated by the NFL in 1984

A well deserved merit.
How much does it say for this guy that while he was suspended, he found a way to work out with his teammates and work on the gameplan? Hopefully, people will realize that he is a much more mature human being than he gets credit for.
2-0.
Way to go BMarsh.
Now that is how you comeback from a suspension, make up for week one in one game.

Well deserved
and I think that he may get the award a few more times this year, perhaps O Player of the year. Keep it comming Brandon!
He may have to share it
with Cutler!
Has there ever been co-OPY from the same team?
Think about it. BMarsh gets OPY, but can’t get there without JC, so they should both share it!

BMarsh breakdown
http://myespn.go.com/blogs/afcwest/0-3-175/Breakdown-of-Marshall-s-big-day.html
Great breakdown courtesy of Bill Williamson. Apparently only two passes to him were incomplete, and 10 of the 18 went for a 1st down.
You'd think that since his job is to cover the AFC West
he would actually have researched the stats himself (since 2 of the teams were in the game and the faders/indians game was over), but
Thanks to the wonderful researchers at ESPN
it appears that he can’t even do his own research.

The only way they got him to read THEIR research
was that they slipped it into his reuben.
