On Wednesday morning, it was announced that the Miami Dolphins star pass-rusher Cameron Wake was named the AFC Defensive player of the week after his elite four sack performance against the Tennessee Titans.
This is Wake's third time receiving the award in his career, as he was also given the honor on Week 1 of the 2014 season against the New England Patriots, and in Week 9 of the 2013 season against the Cincinnati Bengals, which was the game on Halloween night where he sacked quarterback Andy Dalton in the endzone for a game-winning safety.
The last Dolphins defender to win the award was cornerback Brent Grimes, who received the award in Week 9 of the 2014 season against the San Diego Chargers when he made 3 tackles and intercepted quarterback Philip Rivers twice in a 37-0 blowout win.
