New York Giants<\/a> managed to get four wins this season after finishing their final two games against the Las Vegas Raiders and Dallas Cowboys with a win. They were long eliminated from the playoffs, so those wins don’t mean anything, but, hey, they’re wins.<\/p>\nIn their Week 18 matchup with the Cowboys, Giants linebacker Bobby Okereke was an integral part of the team’s win. Because of his performance, he has been named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week.<\/p>\n
Okereke recorded six tackles (three solo), one stuff, one fumble recovery, one interception for seven yards, and one pass defensed. He played a huge role in the Giants’ ability to win their final game of the season, and he is being rightfully recognized for it.<\/p>\n
On the season, Okereke led the defense with 143 tackles (73 solo), one sack, two tackles for a loss, six passes defensed, two interceptions for a total of 54 yards, and one fumble recovery.<\/p>\n
