          The surprising season continued for Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett, who was named AFC offensive player of the week on Wednesday.

          Forsett gained 112 yards rushing -- the most in the AFC in Week 10 -- and scored two touchdowns in the Ravens' 21-7 victory over the Tennessee Titans. He tied the game with a 9-yard run in the second quarter and put the Ravens ahead with an 11-yard burst in the third quarter.

          The journeyman running back also set a career-high for rushing yards in a season with 721 yards, which ranks No. 4 in the NFL.

          "When you watch him on tape, he has always been a playmaker, and now he’s getting an opportunity to prove that," coach John Harbaugh said. "He’s doing a great job with it.”

          Forsett is the third Ravens player to win a weekly player of the week award, joining kicker Justin Tucker (Week 3 against Cleveland) and quarterback Joe Flacco (Week 6 against Tampa Bay). He is the first Ravens running back to earn this honor since the end of the 2012 season, when Ray Rice won the award.
