NEW YORK, Oct. 1 (UPI) -- Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning, fresh off a personal best passing performance, Wednesday was among those winning weekly NFL honors.
Manning was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week, joining Tennessee linebacker Rocky Boiman and kick returner Dante Hall of Kansas City for AFC honors.
The NFC winners were Green Bay running back Ahman Green, defensive back Champ Bailey of Washington, and placekicker David Akers of Philadelphia.
Manning was nothing short of brilliant, throwing six touchdown passes in a 55-21 rout of New Orleans. In his hometown, he posted his third-career single-game "perfect" passer rating of 158.3, completing 20-of-25 passes for 314 yards without an interception.
Also, Green rushed for 176 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers' 38-23 win over Chicago, and Hall won the AFC's Special Team award after his 97-yard kickoff return gave the Chiefs a 17-10 win over Baltimore and was his third kick return for a score this season.
