A Veteran Vikings Defender Was the Best in the NFC in Week 6

Following his first season with the Minnesota Vikings in 2022, some were underwhelmed by the production of Jordan Hicks.

After years of being a blitz-heavy, run-stopping linebacker, Hicks looked like a shell of himself in Ed Donatell’s defense.

However, that cannot be said of the linebacker in 2023. In fact, the veteran Vikings defender was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his Week 6 performance against the Chicago Bears.
