After pacing the way for the Buffalo Bills defense in their win over the Los Angeles Chargers, linebacker A.J. Klein has been named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week. He earned the honor in the wake of a career-high 14 tackles, three tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and a pass breakup. Now with five sacks, Klein leads the team in that stat.
It’s the second time this season that a Bills defender has earned the award, after Jerry Hughes in week seven. That one came from the win over the New York Jets.
