Detroit Lions linebacker Jarrad Davis enjoyed one of his best games as an NFL linebacker last week. He tallied eight tackles (seven solo), 1.0 sacks, two tackles for losses, one pass defended and a quarterback hit. And on Thursday, he received the NFL Way to Play Award for Week 14.
The Way to Play Award is given to the player that exemplifies proper technique in accordance to the NFL’s rules. Often, the award goes to a player that lays a big hit on someone while not violating one of the league’s strict rules regarding tacking technique.
