Seattle Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney has been named the NFC’s Defensive Player of Week 10 for his play against the 49ers.
Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney was a huge part of Seattle’s win over the 49ers Monday night. Against San Francisco, Clowney logged five hits on the quarterback, a sack, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery that resulted in a defensive touchdown.
Clowney’s performance was exactly what coaches and fans had been waiting for this season.
“It was a breakout game,” coach Pete Carroll said in his postgame press conference. “I thought he was so impressive all night long. I don’t know how, I thought they were tackling him, he was just penetrating so fast and so furiously. And what a fantastic game.”

For his efforts Monday night, Clowney has been named the NFC’s Defensive Player of the Week. This marks the second time in Clowney’s career he has earned the award, the first time being last year when he was still a member of the Texans.
It’s no surprise Clowney was also named Seahawks Wire’s Player of the Game.

Against the 49er, Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney logged five hits on the QB, a sack and a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown.
Seattle Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney finally had the breakout game everyone had been waiting for. Against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10, Clowney finished the day with five tackles, five hits on the quarterback, a sack and a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown – his second defensive score of the year.
Clowney was all over the field Monday night and his recorded statistics don’t accurately reflect all the pressure he put on San Francisco’s offense throughout the contest.
“Golly, what a fantastic football game he played,” coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday afternoon. “He just was unblockable. He just continued to weave his way into the backfield and make plays, the run and the pass. Any plays that he wouldn’t get credit for that he affected were many and all across the board. Pass defense was good last night. Made a lot of plays, had hands on a lot of balls.”
The Seahawks had been short on sacks this season – only recording 15 heading into the Week 10 matchup. With Clowney’s assistance, Seattle was able to log five more against the 49ers as well as 10 total hits on quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
Clowney and his teammates have the week off to enjoy the bye before resuming practice next Monday ahead of the Eagles matchup Week 12.

Studs and duds from the Seattle Seahawks nail-biting win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10.
The overtime magic seems to keep flowing for the Seattle Seahawks. Only a week removed from their dramatic overtime victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Seahawks found themselves in yet another thriller when they needed an extra period to take down their rivals by the bay, the San Francisco 49ers.
Seattle vs. San Francisco on “Monday Night Football” was being billed as the game of the year, and it didn’t just live up to expectations, it exceeded them. In one of the wildest, climactic, back-and-forth wins one will ever see, the Seahawks delivered the previously unbeaten 49ers their first loss of the year in a game that came down to the final play of overtime.
The 49ers may still be in first place in the NFC West, but their margin for error was severely diminished as the Seahawks clearly demonstrated they are more than capable of taking back a division crown themselves. Here are four Studs and two Duds from Seattle’s Week 10 win.
The Houston Texans are bringing back defensive lineman Joel Heath. They waived offensive tackle Dan Skipper to sign him.
The Houston Texans have brought back a familiar face. The organization they have re-signed defensive lineman Joel Heath. In a corresponding move, Houston waived offensive lineman Dan Skipper.
Heath, 26, was waived by the Texans on Aug. 31 during final cuts. He previously signed with Houston in 2016 after going undrafted out of Michigan State.
In his three seasons as a Texan, Heath logged 30 games, including 15 starts. A 6-6, 310-pound lineman, he amassed 34 combined tackles, three sacks and three tackles for loss in his first stint in Houston.
Heath struggled with knee injuries over the last two seasons. He worked out with the New England Patriots on Oct. 31.
Skipper, 25, signed with the Texans off the Patriots’ practice squad on Oct. 16. A 6-10, 320-pound lineman, he saw the bulk of his snaps with the Texans — in three games — as a jumbo package tight end. If he clears waivers, he is eligible to sign with the Texans’ practice squad.
