Harvey scored a pair of rushing touchdowns — including the game-winning score in overtime — against the Commanders to help Denver earn a 27-26 win. Harvey finished the game with 62 scrimmage yards.

On the Broncos' final drive, Harvey got the drive started with a 12-yard catch before making a crucial block to protect Bo Nix as he threw another completion. Harvey capped the Broncos' five-play, 76-yard drive with a 5-yard rushing touchdown.

Through Week 13, Harvey is tied with sixth-overall pick Ashton Jeanty for the most scrimmage touchdowns among rookies this season.

Harvey has been nominated for the award four times this season and won the honor after his performance against the Cowboys in Week 8.

Should Harvey win, he would be the first Broncos running back to win the award multiple times since Knowshon Moreno in 2009.

New Orleans' Tyler Shough, Cleveland's Quinshon Judkins, Chicago's Kyle Monangai, Carolina's Lathan Ransom and New England's TreVeyon Henderson are also nominated.
