Brian Flores’ defense in Minnesota is starting to take shape, and one can tell because individual players are winning weekly awards.
Veteran Viking Wins Defensive Player of the Week
On Wednesday, Jordan Hickstook home the NFC’s Defensive Player of the Week honor.
The veteran linebacker produced a marvelous showing at the Chicago Bears last weekend, tallying 10 total tackles, a fumble recovery, an interception, a pass deflection, and a touchdown. In fact, his scoop-and-score midway through the third quarter proved to be the game-breaking play that would notch Minnesota’s second win of 2023.
