Denver Broncos rookie running back Knowshon Moreno has been nominated for the NFL’s Rookie of the Week award following his 107-yard, one-touchdown performance against the New York Giants in Week 12.  Vote for Moreno here.

Moreno rushed 19 times for 88 yards with one touchdown and added two receptions for 19 yards to total 107 yards from scrimmage in Thursday’s 26-6 Broncos win.  An NFL Week-12 high 26.3 percent of his runs (5-of-19) went for at least 10 yards against the Giants.

During the last three weeks, nearly one of every four runs by Moreno has gone for at least 10 yards for an NFL-best 23.4 percent rate (11-47) over that stretch.

Moreno is playing better, and deserves the award more now than he did when he won it twice straight in Weeks 4 and 5.  Be sure he gets your vote!

    Damn this is a really tough decision. I watched that Raven game and i dont know how they win without Kruger's play. Britt played well as well. Man this is a tough week.

    Percy Harvin will win rookie of the year.

  • kerry

    yeah thats what im thinking. Orakpo or Brian Cushing may win defensive rookie of the year. them or Jarius Byrd who has 8 INT's for the Bills.

    Moreno is good now…shows flashes of brillance…potential to be great. Still waiting for that breakout game. He's going to need an awfully strong finish to get the award.

    No big deal…still a very solid pick at 12.

  • robtink242

    Cushing should win his college game has transfer to the Pro's immediately. He all over the field like DJ. Williams. I still like Ayers for this team, But honestly i thought we going after atleast 1 of the USC LB's. Orakpo plays great he just needs to play for a 3-4 team where his pass rushing ability can show. Byrd plays for the Bills say no more. He's not going to win just for the fact that he plays for the Bills. Yes it sad what the NFL has become.

  • anthony33

    What would be an issue is if a running back drafted after him received the rookie of the year award. I don't see that happening.

  • kerry

    yeah i wouldnt have cried one bit had we grabbed Cushing or Clay Matthews instead of Moreno. i still dont think Ayers is gonna be very good. he wasnt that good at Tennessee to begin with. he had one good year in which he totaled 3 sacks. he got benched and replaced by Jarvis Moss. thats not good. he seems to be really struggling. hell alot of our draft picks are struggling. however i do like what im seeing from David Bruton. sure its ST's but eventually he may take over in the secondary.
