Was there any other choice but to name Washington’s Ryan Kerrigan the NFC Defensive Player of the Week after the performance that he put on in a 27-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles?

Kerrigan played only 20 snaps on the day, but came up with two sacks and one fumble recovery. He also broke Washington’s franchise record for most sacks all-time, passing Dexter Manley with 92 in his career. Kerrigan led the team in sacks on the day, holding two of the eight total tallied up by the defensive line, and was a major part of why Eagles QB Carson Wentz was rendered ineffective down the stretch.
This is the first time that Kerrigan has been named NFC Defensive Player of the Week in his career.
