Detroit Lions rookie safety Kerby Joseph was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week after his two-interception game against Aaron Rodgers.
Joseph, a third-round pick out of Illinois, had the first two interceptions of his career, both near the goal line, as the Lions snapped a five-game losing streak with a 15-9 win over the Green Bay Packers.
He made a heads-up play to corral his first interception on a pass that deflected off teammate Derrick Barnes' helmet on Green Bay's opening drive, and undercut a throw intended for tight end Robert Tonyan to snag his second in the third quarter.
