Today is election day in the United States, but as Detroit Lions fans, your voting responsibilities don’t end when you leave the polls, because safety Kerby Joseph has been nominated for Rookie of the Week.
Joseph finished Week 10 with several career marks, including 10 tackles, three passes defended, and two interceptions—joining an exclusive group of defensive backs to pick off Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers multiple times in a game. No surprise, Joseph won our Game Ball with a whopping 95% of the vote.
Joseph’s competition this week includes:
- RB Kenneth Walker, Seahawks: 109 rushing yards, 2 TDs
- RB Tyler Allgeier, Falcons: 123 scrimmage yards
- TE Cade Otten, Bucs: 5 receptions, 68 yards, game-winning TD
- CB Sauce Gardner, Jets: 7 tackles, 1 interception, 1 pass defended
- S Kerby Joseph, Lions: 10 tackles, 2 interceptions, 3 passes defended
This may seem like a gimmie win for Joseph, as statistically, he is far ahead of the group, but Jets fans have been showing up in these polls so far this season.
