Troy Polamalu Named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week

Safety Troy Polamalu has been named the AFC’s Defensive Player of the Week, the team announced on Wednesday morning.

The reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year had two tackles, including one for a loss, an interception and three passes defensed in the Steelers’ 13-9 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Despite the Steelers posting the league’s No. 1-ranked defense in 2011, Polamalu is the first Steelers defender to earn “Player of the Week” honors this season.
