Xavien Howard named AFC Defensive Player of the Week

[SwissPhins]

Intercept arguably the best quarterback in league history twice in the same game and you're the AFC Defensive Player of the Week. It's a simple formula, really. Miami's Xavien Howard gets the nod thanks to his pair of picks, which highlighted the Dolphins' dominant defensive effort (and upset) against the Patriots on Monday Night Football.

Well deserved I guess... Two INTs against Brady. Four INTs in two games is impressive. Congratulations to Xavien!

Well deserved

Congrats & well-deserved. This recognition should really stoke his confidence even more than the Denver game obviously did.

 

[Dolph N.Fan]

Even more impressive considering he played on Monday after everyone one else played and he’s still the AFC player of the week.

Hope it turns into defensive player of the month! The way he's playing it's possible

He’s been playing like a stud. If he can keep this going the Fins have a great shot at the 3-0 run they need for playoffs. It’s nice when your D Coordinator doesn’t have to worry about one side of the field or one WR
