Defensive Players of the Week
Erik Walden, LB, Green Bay
Starting at right outside linebacker because of a knee injury to incumbent Frank Zombo, Walden, an itinerant 2008 sixth-round pick of the Cowboys, led the Packers with 11 tackles and two sacks in their playoff-clinching 10-3 win over the Bears. Green Bay has had outstanding front-seven depth this year, and Walden was the cherry on top of that Sunday.
