Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver has been named AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his dominant performance in the Bills’ 28-25 win over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day.
Per the team, Oliver became the first player in franchise history to record a sack, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and a safety in the same game, and is one of only four players in the past decade to do this (Khalil Mack, Justin Houston, and Cameron Wake being the others).

This is the second straight week that a Bills defender has taken this award home, as Oliver follows in the footsteps of linebacker Matt Milano, who won it in Week 11 after a dominant effort against the Cleveland Browns.
