Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers turned in one of the best performances of his career last Sunday in Denver and the NFL recognized him for the performance Wednesday. Rivers was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week after leading the Bolts to a 41-3 win at Denver.

Rivers completed 13-of-18 passes for 270 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. His passer rating of 151.4 was his highest single-game total of his career. Coincidentally, his previous career high of 136.0 came against the Broncos last December at Qualcomm Stadium.

The honor was Rivers’ second Player of the Week award. He was also recognized last October following his 334-yard, two-touchdown performance against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Bolts’ starting signal caller is also in the running for FedEx Air Player of the Week. Fans can click here to vote for Rivers as well as FedEx Ground Player of the Week nominee Michael Turner.

Congrats to Rivers, good game. It helps him so much when the Running Game is going. He has been taking heat this season with some bad games, but overall im still happy that Brees walked away(I SAY THIS CAUSE MOST PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THE CHARGERS LET BREES GO, BUT HE IS THE ONE THAT DECLINED A CONTRACT AND WALKED)
