ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – After kicking a pair of game-winning field goals, kicker Brandon McManus has been named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for October.

The honor is first in his career and the ninth conference special teams player of the month recognition in Broncos history since the award was initiated in 1993.

This month, McManus connected on 10-of-11 field goals and all five PATs as the Broncos posted a 3-0 record in October. He led all AFC players with 11.7 points per game in October, totaling 35 points in Denver's three games.

McManus' two game-winning field goals were the first of his career – a 39-yarder in Week 4 (10/4) against Minnesota (1:15 remaining in 4th qtr.) and a 34-yarder in Week 6 (10/18) at Cleveland (4:56 remaining in overtime).
