Peyton Manning named AFC Offensive Player of the Week

Following a near flawless performance in which four out of his five incompletions were drops, Manning has been named the AFC Player of the Week for the 2nd time this season.

Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports

Manning completed 32-of-37 passes (86.5%) for 374 yards with three touchdowns (135.8 rtg.) in Denver's 37-21 win against the Oakland Raiders on Monday Night Football. His performance marked just the sixth time in NFL history a player threw for 350 yards and three touchdowns while completing at least 85 percent of his passes.

His three touchdowns against Oakland gave him 12 for the season (against zero interceptions) to represent the most by a player through three games in league annals.

Manning's accomplishment marks the 25th such award of his career, adding to his NFL record. It's the fourth time he has earned the honor with Denver (Weeks 6, 17 in 2012 and Week 1 in 2013) and the 50th time a Broncos player has taken home the award.

Manning is on a blistering pace after a hot start to the season.  The scary thing?  The Broncos offense can do better.  I would expect Peyton to go on and win the AFC player of the month award as well.  As long as we have the weapons we have, there are no signs of slowing down.

Congratulations Peyton!!!  GO BRONCOS!!!
