DAVIE - Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington was named the AFC's Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in Sunday's 25-16 win against the Bills.
Pennington completed 22 of 30 passes for 314 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. He compiled a passer rating of 117.9, the fourth time in the past five games he has had a passer rating of 100.0 or greater.
