After Sunday’s 30-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Tom Brady has been named the AFC’s Offensive Player of the Week.

It is his 27th career time being awarded the weekly honor, and second time this season. The first came after his return from suspension in Cleveland. On the road against the 49ers, Brady was 24-40, and threw for 280 yards and four touchdowns.

Brady threw his four touchdowns passes to four different players: Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, Malcolm Mitchell and James White. In six games played this season, Brady has thrown for 1,915 yards, and 16 touchdowns to go with just one interception.
