Following a dominant performance against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, New England Patriots linebacker Matthew Judon has been honored as the AFC Defensive Player of the Week.
Judon, 30, was a menace against the Lions. Registering three tackles, a tackle for loss, two sacks and a total of seven quarterback pressures. He also forced fumble that was returned for a touchdown by teammate Kyle Dugger.
The veteran linebacker therefore played a key role in New England’s defense imposing its will against the Lions and keeping the NFL’s highest scoring offense off the scoreboard.
