A bright spot amid the Detroit Lions’ defensive woes, Malcolm Rodriguez’s latest performance earned him a nomination for Pepsi’s Rookie of the Week.
At home against the Miami Dolphins, the linebacker registered his first career sack and his first career fumble recovery. He also racked up seven tackles, one tackle for loss, one quarterback hit, and one pass defended. (Our own Morgan Cannon has a great breakdown of his play here.)
First career sack + first career fumble recovery on the same series.
