Woodley named NFL Defensive Player of the Week for Week 7

 

Pittsburgh Steelers LB, LaMarr Woodley had two sacks and four tackles in last week's 38-10 victory over the Cincinatti Bengals.

Those stats earned him the honor of GMC Sierra NFL Defensive Player of the Week for the second time this season.  Woodley was garnished with the honor in Week 1 of the regular season, in a game against the Houston Texans.

Of the 7 weeks so far this season, Woodley has been Player of the Week twice and teammate, Troy Polamalu received the award once.

After the season, five players will be nominated for GMC Defensive Player of the Year honors.  With Woodley capturing the title twice already this season, he is defintely a front runner for the award. 

This award, along with the Offensive Player of the Week award, can be voted upon by fans every week.  Let's keep supporting out Steelers.
