New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week after stifling the Washington Redskins' passing game in a Big Blue 24-3 romp. Coming off of one of his worst career games, Jenkins snagged two interceptions and recorded three passes defensed, including one deflection that lead to a teammate's interception. Jenkins had two picks all of last season but matched 2018's total in the fourth quarter of Week 4 alone. This is Jenkins' third Player of the Week honor and his second with Big Blue -- Special Teams in Week 2, 2016; Defensive in Week 12, 2012.
