(CBS4) ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Broncos' Mike Shanahan was named NFL coach of the week Friday for games played last weekend.

Shanahan helped lead Denver to a 3-3 record with a 31-28 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday night.

Shanahan's offense put up points in every quarter including a 49-yard field goal as time expired to give the Broncos the win.

Quarterback Jay Cutler passed for 248 yards that included three touchdowns to lead an offense that converted 70 percent of its third downs throughout the game.

Denver is last in the NFL in stopping the run and the Steelers have the league's second-best rushing offense. But the Broncos' defense was so effective that Pittsburgh running back Willie Parker (93 yards on 21 carries) had only three rushes for 10 yards in the first quarter.

The other finalists this past week were head coaches **** Jauron of the Buffalo Bills and Rod Marinelli of the Detroit Lions.

That is nice. Maybe now would be the perfect time to fire him.

Thanks for posting this JR. Congrats to Mikey and the entire coaching staff. They along with the players had step up to the plate and deliver Sunday night against Pitt and they did.

I'm glad Denver is playing a game at home right after the big win too. Keeping this momentum going is huge right now and that's tougher to do on the road.

May he get it back-to-back! :beer:

Especially since he did it with multiple band-aids in place. Was perhaps one of the better wins in a long time, like since the Pats last year.

remember folks he/they had two solid weeks to fix the bleeding. they caught PIT coaching staff with their pants down and threw a change up in how they played defense.

They most likely will not have the same success the rest of the season.

Is there an Eeyore award to be won here?
