The NFL has named Jets WR Brandon Marshall AFC Offensive Player of the Week following his 12-catch, 131-yard game in the overtime win over the Giants that included his 9-yard touchdown reception with 27 seconds left in regulation.

Immediately after the game, Marshall deflected any personal praise onto his teammates for executing their 10-point fourth-quarter comeback, one of the largest in franchise history.

"We all played a part in it, and that's the special thing," he said. "And that’s what Fitz [Ryan Fitzpatrick] tries to do. A lot of quarterbacks try to do that. I think it’s healthy for our team, I think it’s healthy for our offense. It’s special when you see Q [Quincy Enunwa] get involved, you see Deck [Eric Decker] lead the way, I

may catch a ball here or there. And Bilal Powell, he’s just amazing. He gets in there, he only knows one speed, and he’s been a great help late in ballgames recently."

That's of course what top players do. They include everyone. But they also receive individual accolades. For Marshall, this isn't as many Player of the Week honors as one might think — it's only his third, after being similarly honored in 2008 and 2009 with Denver.

Jets WRs also haven't scored this award often or recently. Wesley Walker was the first to do it after his four-touchdown overtime eruption against Miami in 1986. Al Toon took it once in 1990. And Keyshawn Johnson was named the NFL Offensive Player of the Week after the 1998 AFC Divisional Round triumph over Jacksonville. And that's it.

As for all positions, it's the Jets' third Player of the Week award this season (Darrelle Revis got the defensive award after Week 2 and P Ryan Quigley the special teams honor after Week 9) but the first Offensive POW since QB Geno Smith won it after his 2013 Week 5 showing at Atlanta.
