NEW YORK, Nov. 18 (UPI) -- Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week Wednesday for his four touchdown passes in a 35-34 win over New England.

He completed 28-of-44 passes for 327 yards, including a late touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne.

It is the 12th straight season Manning has thrown 20 touchdown passes, joining Minnesota's Brett Favre. He also has thrown for at least 300 yards in 13 consecutive games, equaling former New York Giants quarterback Y.A. Tittle, and has earned 20 weekly awards in his career, the most since the award originated in 1984.

Others earning AFC honors for Week 10 were Kansas City safety Mike Brown (defense) and Cincinnati's Bernard Scott (Special Teams), a rookie kick returner.

Brown's two interceptions led the Chiefs to a 16-10 win over Oakland. Scott scored on a 96-yard kick return, the game's lone touchdown, in the Bengals' 18-12 win over Pittsburgh.
