C.J. Anderson wins AFC offensive player of the week

There have been weeks when the guys who win weekly honors put up bigger stat lines.

But in terms of impact, there might not be a guy who can match what C.J. Anderson did last week.

The Broncos running back was named AFC offensive player of the week, after his walk-off touchdown in overtime helped his team hand the Patriots their first loss of the season.

Anderson finished with 15 carries for 113 yards and two touchdowns, but it was that 48-yarder in overtime which effectively earned him this week’s honor.

Anderson has been a different back after the Broncos bye week (2.7 yards per carry before the bye, 6.3 yards per carry since), seemingly putting a toe injury behind him.

And perhaps the absence of Peyton Manning allows the Broncos to run a system closer to what coach Gary Kubiak prefers, but regardless the quarterback, Anderson’s looking like a guy they can count on late.
