Devin Bush named AFC Defensive Player of the Week

BEREA, Ohio — Cleveland Browns LB Devin Bush has earned AFC Defensive Player of the Week for games played Jan. 3-4 (Week 18), the National Football League announced Wednesday.

Bush helped the Browns to a 20-18 victory at Cincinnati. He recorded 14 tackles and returned an interception 97 yards for a touchdown. It was the second-longest interception return in the NFL this season and tied for the fourth-longest in Browns history. Bush led the NFL this season with two interception-return touchdowns and finished with a career-high in tackles (124) and interceptions (three).

This is the second career weekly league award for Bush, who also won in Week 6 in 2019. He joins K Andre Szmyt (Special Teams in Week 3), S Grant Delpit (Special Teams in Week 7) and DE Myles Garrett (Defensive in Week 12) as the fourth Browns player to be named AFC Player of the Week this season.
