Johnson Named AFC Offensive Player of the Week

Story by: Tennessee Titans   |   November 4, 2009   |   Sports News   |   No Comments

titansNASHVILLE, Tenn. – Titans running back Chris Johnson was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his record-setting performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 8. The 2008 first round draft pick amassed a franchise-best 228 rushing yards on just 24 carries and scored two touchdowns, helping the Titans earn a 30-13 victory over their division rival.

Johnson, who leads the NFL with 824 rushing yards, broke the previous Titans/Oilers single-game rushing mark of 216 yards which was held by Billy Cannon and Eddie George. Johnson gave the Titans a 20-13 lead with a 52-yard touchdown run with 11:00 remaining in the third quarter. He set the franchise mark with an 89-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter – the third-longest run in team history.

This is Johnson’s first AFC Offensive Player of the Week award and the first for the Titans since Chris Hope garnered AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors for his Week 8 performance against Indianapolis last season.
