The NFL has named Denver Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton AFC Player of the Week for games played in Week 10, the Broncos announced.  Orton threw a career-high four touchdowns and finished with a 131.5 passer rating in the Broncos’ 49-29 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

It’s the second such honor in Orton’s career, who previously won after the Broncos’ Week 5 comeback victory over the New England Patriots in 2009, in which Orton orchestrated a 98-yard game-tying drive before driving the Broncos for the game-winning field goal in overtime.

It’s further validation that Orton just might be the Broncos’ quarterback of the future.

    Thank God the Broncos had a respectable game. Being a Broncos and Buffs fan has been very difficult this season. And agreed, we need Orton to stay.
