The Players of the Week are out. And as you might expect, Patrick Surtain Jr took home the Defensive Player of the Week Award for the AFC. Surtain earned his award for sure. But he had a lot of help from Raiders QBs Gardner Minshew and Aidan O’Connell.

Cornerback Patrick Surtain II is one such player, and he was just named AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his phenomenal performance in Sunday's 34-18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

That’s precisely what Patrick Surtain II did to help the Denver Broncos defeat the Las Vegas Raiders last Sunday. His two interceptions, including a 100-yard pick-six were tone setters and momentum changers that propelled the Broncos to their first victory over the Raiders since 2019.
