Two Broncos have been nominated by the NFL as Player of the Week candidates. QB Jay Cutler has been nominated for the FedEx Air Player of the Week Award, and DE Tim Crowder has been nominated for the Diet Pepsi Rookie of the Week Award.
The FedEx Air Player of the Week Award is given to a player from the previous weekend’s games that showed exceptional prowess in their team’s offensive air attack. The Diet Pepsi Rookie of the Week Award is given to a first year player with the best performance from the previous week.
In Week 7 of the NFL, Jay Cutler led the Broncos to their first win in nearly a month as the team beat the Steelers 31-28. He showed great poise in the pocket, leading the Broncos in a game-winning drive in the final 1:10 of the game. He went 22-29 for 248 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. He also led the Broncos to the team’s greatest third down success rate since 1994.
Tim Crowder made a game-changing play in the second quarter as he returned a Ben Roethlisberger fumble 50 yards for a touchdown. Contrast to what the NFL.com site may indicate, he is a DE and not a CB.
Be a homer, vote for our Broncos now!
