Rasul Douglas Named AFC Defensive Player of the Week After Standout vs. Jets

His lockdown coverage exemplifies Miami's late-season defensive surge.

Overview

  • Douglas broke up five passes, intercepted a throw and made two tackles in Miami’s Week 14 win over New York.
  • He allowed only two completions on nine targets, frequently shadowing Jets receiver Adonai Mitchell, who finished with one catch.
  • The pick was Douglas’ second in as many games, following an interception the previous week against the Saints.
  • Miami became the first team this season with three Defensive Player of the Week winners, with linebacker Jordyn Brooks earning the honor in Weeks 8 and 11.
  • Signed in August on a one-year deal, Douglas has appeared in 11 games with nine starts and has also logged a sack and a forced fumble this season.
