Green Bay Packers cornerback Rasul Douglas was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for Week 12 of the 2021 season.
Douglas tallied an interception return for a touchdown and three other pass breakups during Green Bay’s 36-28 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at Lambeau Field.
The four passes defensed by Douglas were a career-high and the most by a Packers player since Jaire Alexander had five in a 2018 game against the Rams. Douglas became just the sixth player this season to tally at least four passes defensed in a game this season, and he’s the only one with an interception returned for a touchdown.
