Sonny Styles named NFC Defensive Player of the Week

Washington rookie linebacker Sonny Styles earned NFC Defensive Player of the Week accolades following his impactful performance in a 33-31 victory against the Seattle Seahawks. Stepping into green-dot responsibilities due to an injury to Frankie Luvu, Styles contributed five tackles, a pair of passes defended, one forced fumble, a quarterback hit, and an interception that spurred a touchdown.

This recognition makes him the fourth rookie in franchise history to win the conference defensive honor, joining a club that includes Champ Bailey, Chris Horton, and Brian Orakpo, while also making him the team's first recipient since Ryan Kerrigan in 2020.
