Julius Peppers wins NFC defensive player of the week
Posted Oct 8, 2014
The fact Julius Peppers is playing outside linebacker in Green Bay makes this different from his previous stops. But he’s still producing at a high level. Peppers was named the NFC defensive player of the week after last week’s outburst against the Vikings. Peppers had a half a sack, but more impressive was his interception and 49-yard touchdown return, outrunning a Vikings running back in the process.
