Jonathan Greenard Named NFC Defensive Player of the Week

Jonathan Greenard got an opportunity to face his former team on Sunday afternoon when the Minnesota Vikings played host to the Houston Texans. Greenard was a big reason that the game turned into a blowout, and today he was recognized for his performance.

Greenard has been named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for Week 3 of this season. It is the first time he’s received a Defensive Player of the Week honor in his career.

Greenard finished his game on Sunday with three quarterback sacks and was a huge part of the reason that Texans’ offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil had so many issues on Sunday.
