It has been a big week for Seattle Seahawks starting safety Coby Bryant, who made the game-defining play in Seattle’s Week 12 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Leading only 7-3 in the third quarter, the Seahawks made a crucial stop on 4th-and-1 against the Cards.
Quarterback Kyler Murray rolled out to his right, being chased down by Seattle defenders, and sailed the ball well out of reach of his intended receiver. It fell into the waiting arms of Bryant, who promptly returned it 69 yards for a touchdown to help the Seahawks go up by 10. It proved to be an insurmountable lead for Arizona.

For Bryant’s efforts in the victory, he rightfully earned NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors for Week 12! Only fitting in the 12th week of the season it was a Seahawk who earned this award for a performance in front of the 12th Man.
Overall, Bryant finished the eventual 16-6 win with six total tackles, all of which were solo. I’d say he was more than qualified to become the NFC Defensive Player of the Week.
