Allen Park — For the second time in three weeks, a Detroit Lions rookie has been named the NFC's Defensive Player of the Week.
On Wednesday, defensive end Aidan Hutchinson was selected for his performance in the team's 31-18 victory over the New York Giants.
In the game, Hutchinson recorded his second interception of the season, dropping into quarterback Daniel Jones' passing lane and making a leaping grab. The offense was then able to translate the takeaway into a touchdown, kickstarting a 21-0 run that allowed the Lions to pull away and secure their third consecutive victory.
