ENGLEWOOD, Colo. –Quarterback Peyton Manning capped what Head Coach John Fox called a 'historical' and 'unprecedented' season with an AFC Offensive Player of the Week Award.

Manning needed just three quarters of play to secure his 23rd career conference weekly award. He completed 23-of-29 passes (79.3 pct.) for 304 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions (144.8 rtg.) in Denver's 38-3 win over Kansas City.

Manning's 144.8 passer rating in the Broncos' AFC No.1 seed-clinching victory was the highest by an AFC quarterback this season and his passing yards, completion percentage, yards per attempt, touchdowns and first down throws all ranked first in the AFC for Week 17.

He finished 2012 as the Broncos single-season record holder in completions (400), passing yards (4,659), completion percentage (68.6 pct.), touchdowns (37) and passer rating (105.9).

Manning's 23 career Offensive Player of the Week awards tie him with Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for the most all-time. The Broncos now have 48 such honors in team history, and this is the third AFC Offensive Player of the Week that the club has earned in 2012.

Denver finished the season with eight AFC Players of the Week, which represent the most by any team.
