Admin - October 2, 2009

QB Mark Sanchez of the New York Jets is the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week for games played on Sept. 27-28, the NFL has announced earlier today. Sanchez completed 17 of 30 for 171 yards and two touchdowns in the Jets' 24-17 win over Tennessee, becoming the first rookie quarterback to start and win his team's first three games of a season in the past 40 years. This is Sanchez' third Rookie of the Week honor in a row. He was also voted Offensive Rookie of the Month.

Sanchez was selected from among five finalists through fan votes on NFL.com/rookies. The other finalists were QB Matthew Stafford of the Detroit Lions, WR Percy Harvin of the Minnesota Vikings, and RB Knowshon Moreno of the Denver Broncos and RB Donald Brown of the Indianapolis Colts.
