The Denver Broncos are aiming for a Super Bowl trophy to add to their stockpile of weekly awards.

The latest standout: Running back Ronnie Hillman, whose 117 yards and a touchdown vs. the San Diego Chargers made him AFC Offensive Player of Week 17.

He's the sixth Bronco this season -- and the second Broncos running back -- to win some type of weekly award. CJ Anderson, Brock Osweiler, Aqib Talib, TJ Ward, and Derek Wolfe were all previous winners.

Hillman's 117-yard output was his career high. They'll need that type of play from him in a week and a half when the Broncos host either the Chiefs, Bengals, Steelers, or Texans in the AFC's Divisional round.
