Jaylen Watson discusses the award-winning week that was

On Wednesday, Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson woke up the Week 2 AFC Defensive Player of the Week. Watson’s momentum-shifting, 99-yard interception against the Los Angeles Chargers at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in the fourth quarter earned him the honor just two games into his career.

The electrifying play occurred when the game was tied with just over 10 minutes against a bruised Justin Herbert, and Watson took full advantage. Thanks to Watson’s quick-thinking play, the Chiefs picked up their second victory of the season.
