For the first time since 2020, a Washington player was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week.
Commanders linebacker Sonny Styles earned the honor for his performance in the club’s victory over the Seahawks.
Styles finished the contest with five total tackles, an interception, a forced fumble, a QB hit and two passes defensed in the victory. He was the only player in the NFC to record a pick, a forced fumble and multiple passes defensed in Week 3.
Styles is the first rookie to win NFC Defensive Player of the Week since 2024. He is the first Washington linebacker to win the award since Keenan Robinson in 2014.
