In Sunday's 30-18 win over the Cardinals, the Seahawks played one of their most complete games of the season and the Seahawks' defense was rolling. Rookie Tyrice Knight led the team with 12 tackles and two passes defensed.
Knight is the only defensive player up for the award this week.
After the game, linebacker Ernest Jones IV said, "That's my guy. He's balling. A young guy playing some great football, and I'm excited about his career. Let's continue to grow together."
Earlier this season before he made his first NFL-career start in place of an injured Jerome Baker, head coach Mike Macdonald said, "We've told him, 'You're not a rookie anymore, you can't make rookie mistakes. Poise, he handles that in stride, so he's doing a great job."
And so far, Knight has showed that he can handle the job.
The Seahawks pulled off another road victory to extend their win streak to four games after beating the Arizona Cardinals for the second time this season. Check out some of the best scenes from the team's postgame celebration.
