Jeudy posted career bests in receiving yards and receptions as he caught seven passes for 125 yards and a touchdown. It was the first 100-yard game of his career.

Only four Broncos rookies in franchise history have posted more receiving yards in a single game.

Jeudy, the 15th-overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, now has 30 receptions for 484 yards and two touchdowns on the season. Twenty-four of his catches have resulted in first downs.

Jeudy is up against Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, Jake Luton and James Robinson for the award. He is the first Broncos rookie to be a finalist for the award this season.

Drew Lock was the Broncos' last rookie to win the honor, as he earned the recognition following a three-touchdown performance against the Texans last year.
