Foye Oluokun wins NFC Defensive Player of the Week award

The Atlanta Falcons have not been great defensively in 2020, but that is not at all the fault of Foye Oluokun. The third-year linebacker has been doing a bit of everything in a breakout 2020, forcing huge fumbles, recovering onside kicks, and authoring plays both big and small on a weekly basis.

He’s rarely stuffed the stat sheet the way he did in Week 9 against the Broncos, where he piled up 10 tackles, got his first four quarterback hits of the season all in the same game, and managed a tackle for loss and pass deflection on 92% of the defensive snaps.
