Denico Autry has been named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week according to the NFL. This is the first time Autry has won the award, and did so after the strong performance he had against the Texans last week.
In that performance, he recorded 4 tackles with 2.5 tackles for loss and 2 sacks. He was a wrecking ball in the backfield and blew up plenty of plays from the start. This is the second straight game in which he has put on a strong performance.
Autry is part of a new defensive line that has done very well this season.
