Browns' Grant Delpit Named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 7

The honor follows a forced kickoff fumble that set up a touchdown in Cleveland's 31-6 win over Miami.

Overview

  • The NFL announced the Week 7 recognition on Wednesday for performances from Oct. 16–20.
  • Delpit forced a second-quarter kickoff fumble recovered by Rayshawn Jenkins and later hit Tua Tagovailoa to trigger a Jenkins interception, with both turnovers leading to touchdowns.
  • Local reports credited Delpit with two special-teams tackles and a forced fumble, plus two defensive tackles and a sack.
  • It is his first career weekly award, and kicker Andre Szmyt previously earned the Browns’ Week 3 AFC special-teams honor.
  • Cleveland turns to a road game at New England on Sunday at 1 p.m.
