FILE - Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus (8) kicks a field goal against the Detroit Lions during an NFL football game on Dec. 12, 2021, in Denver. Not to seem ungrateful, but McManus isn't sure he deserves his AFC special teams player of the week award for kicking five extra points and a 52-yard field goal in the Denver Broncos' blowout of the Detroit Lions. “Obviously I appreciate the award and I was able to honor Demaryius wearing my cleats,” added McManus, who honored the memory of former teammate Demaryius Thomas, who death last week at age 33 rocked the NFL.
