In further evidence that Jerry Jeudy was underutilized much of the season until the Broncos started playing him more outside, the wide receiver was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in Denver’s 31-28 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.
Jeudy caught five of six passes for a career-high 154 yards while also setting career highs in rushes and rushing yards - three carries for 39 yards. He had no touchdowns but several other receivers took care of that while he helped get the ball in excellent field position. Jeudy’s average catch yardage on Sunday was 31 yards and his longest was a 57-yard grab.
