Chris Johnson named top AFC player

NEW YORK, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson is the AFC Offensive Player of the Week after a franchise-record 228 yards against Jacksonville last Sunday.

The former East Carolina star carried 24 times with 52- and 89-yards touchdown runs in the Titans' 30-13 win, their first this season.

Teammate Maurice Jones-Drew had touchdown runs of 80 and 79 yards, making it the first time in NFL history that there were four rushing touchdowns of at least 50 yards in a single contest.

Johnson was joined in the AFC by Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing (defense) and Miami Dolphins kick returner Ted Ginn, Jr. (special teams).

Cushing's team-high 10 tackles, one sack, a tackle for a loss and one interception helped the Texans beat Buffalo, 31-10, and Ginn scored on third-quarter 101- and 100-yard kickoff returns, leading the Dolphins to a 30-25 win over the New York Jets.
