Richard Sherman named NFC Defensive Player of Week

SEATTLE -- Seahawks Cornerback Richard Sherman was named the NFC's Defensive Player of the Week for Week 2 of the NFL Season.



The quick-talking Sherman was given the ward following a standout performance against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Sherman racked up an interception and two tackles while helping the Seahawks defense keep the 49ers out of the endzone.

Sherman is the only player to earn the honor twice since November.
