Harvey recorded three total touchdowns in the 44-24 win, which marked the first three-touchdown performance by a Broncos rookie since Clinton Portis in 2002.
The Central Florida product opened the scoring for Denver with a 40-yard touchdown run, which was the longest scoring rush by a Broncos player since Melvin Gordon III in 2021. Harvey also added a touchdown run on a direct snap and caught a late touchdown from Bo Nix.
He became the first Broncos rookie with multiple touchdown runs in a game since Phillip Lindsay in 2018, and he averaged 6.6 yards per carry as Denver racked up its second-highest rushing total of the season.
He has now been nominated three times for the award this season, and he’ll look to become the first Broncos rookie since Bo Nix to win the honor.
Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart, Texans running back Woody Marks, Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden and Browns tight end Harold Fannin were also nominated for this week’s award.
