For the second straight week, the Vikings have a defensive player who has been honored by the NFL.
After linebacker Jordan Hicks got the honor last week, safety Cam Bynum has been named NFC Defensive Player of the Week.
It was very much deserved after Bynum had two interceptions to help lead the Vikings to a 22-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football. He also led the team in tackles and contributed to a forced fumble that was officially credited to fellow safety Harrison Smith.
To this point, Bynum has started every game for the Vikings, and this season has 69 tackles, which is the most among all defensive backs this season.
