Moreno Named Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week

Knowshon Moreno was named the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week for his performance Sunday in Denver's 17-10 victory over the visiting Cowboys. Moreno had 14 carries for 65 yards, along with 2 receptions for 11 yards, including a 9-yard TD catch. Although Knowshon lost a fumble, he did also have a key block on Kyle Orton's 51-yard game-winning TD pass to Brandon Marshall.

When you win

your players get recognition. That’s always the way it’s been. Somehow I suspect he’s proudest of that block. That means he made a key contribution to both TDs.

College and Preseason

Congrats Knowshon. I was psyched when we drafted him and his few carries in preseason. My faith in him is steadily being proven in his play. This type of award is nice. I hope he gets it every week! He entered the season as the oddsmakers favorite to win ROY. I think he is just behind Sanchez now.

He'll continue to improve

in this offense, too.

I love this kid!

I think he will be getting this award pretty often.

Nice

I hope this is just the first of many accolades in a long career here in Denver.

Don't argue with fools. It's how they reproduce.
