A four-touchdown performance in a rout of the Packers last Sunday made Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota the easy choice as the AFC Offensive Player of the Week when the weekly honors were announced on Wednesday.

Mariota threw for 295 yards and four touchdowns as the Titans jumped out to an early lead and cruised to a 47-25 win.

Mariota garnered a quarterback rating of 149.8, his best of the season and second-best of his career. The weekly honor is the third of Mariota’s career.

On the season, Mariota has 21 touchdown passes and eight interceptions. Over the last six weeks, he’s thrown 17 touchdowns and just three interceptions.
