This Chiefs linebacker was just named AFC Defensive Player of the Month

For a team that continues to rank among the bottom of the NFL in several defensive categories, the Chiefs have had some individual highlights.

A day after he won the AFC’s weekly award, the NFL announced Ford also is the conference’s Defensive Player of the Month.
