FILM ROOM: Telvin Smith earns AFC Defensive Player of the Week

Second-year Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith flashed his growth and athleticism in a game that featured a revived Jaguars defense.

Jaguars outside linebacker Telvin Smith amassed nine tackles, three pass defenses, a pick-six interception, and the AFC Defensive Player of the Week award in his Sunday performance against the Buffalo Bills.

This is the second time in Smith's career that he has earned this title. Sunday was just the 16th start of Telvin's young career.

Now in his second year, Smith is getting better at funneling his freakish athletic ability into a more concentrated defensive effort.
