INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Peyton Manning's trophy case keeps expanding.

The two-time league MVP was named Wednesday as the AFC's offensive player of the week — the second time he's won the award this season. Manning has now won the weekly honor 19 times in his 11-year NFL career.

Manning was rewarded for his best performance of the season, completing 30-of-46 passes for 320 yards with two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-27 victory over Houston. He also led the Colts on five straight scoring drives, wiping out two Houston leads.
