Seahawks’ Michael Bennett named NFC’s top defensive player for Week 7

Seahawks defensive lineman Michael Bennett was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week after his 3.5-sack performance against San Francisco.

Bennett finished with five tackles in Seattle’s win over the 49ers and could have been credited for another half sack but it was instead split by two other teammates. Bennett is now tied for the league lead in sacks with 6.5.

The player-of-the-week recognition is the first of Bennett’s career.
