Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
NEW YORK, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning's solid performance in the Colts' win over Tennessee earned him the AFC offensive player of the week award Monday.
Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu garnered the defensive award and Baltimore Ravens kick returner David Reed was given the special teams nod for Week 14.
Manning completed 25-of-35 passes for 319 yards and two touchdowns and produced a passer rating of 118.6.
His 63 games with at least 300 yards ties him with Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Marino for the most in NFL history and he is the only quarterback in NFL history to record 25-plus touchdown passes in 13 consecutive seasons.
Manning won the weekly award for the 21st time in his career.
Polamalu won the defensive award for the second straight week by posting two tackles, two interceptions and a 45-yard return for a touchdown.
Reed racked up 233 kickoff return yards, including a franchise record 103-yard return for a touchdown.
