After leading the Patriots to a 45-7 rout of the Rams in London on Sunday, Tom Brady on Wednesday was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week. It's the second such award this season for Brady and the 22nd of his career, trying him with Peyton Manning for the most Player of the Week honors since the award was established in 1984.
Brady completed 23-of-35 passes for 304 yards and four touchdowns against the Rams. It was Brady's 50th 300-yard passing game, ranking him behind only Peyton Manning (68) and Drew Brees (62) among active players. By throwing a touchdown pass in his 40th straight game, he ranks behind only Brees (50) and Johnny Unitas (47) for the longest streak of all-time.
Brady previously was honored for his performance in the Patriots' 52-28 victory over the Bills on Sept. 30.
