Rookie linebacker Clay Matthews got a game ball from McCarthy and on Wednesday hell pick an even bigger honor: NFC defensive player of the week.

Its the same honor that Packers cornerback Charles Woodson won last week, and it could help Matthews in the race for defensive rookie of the year.

Matthews had two sacks, a forced fumble and six tackles in Mondays win over Baltimore.

He won the game ball on defense, so I think that tells you what we felt about his performance this past week against the Ravens, McCarthy said.

32 Teams. 13 weeks of football.

We currently have won the defensive player of the week 3 times and defensive player of the month 2 times. Now that is pretty great.

Love that Matthews is showing his dominance, already. He's not the most skilled rusher (right now), but he just keeps going and going. At least 3.0 sacks can be attributed to his high motor and pure determination. Love the guy.

ya I admit at the draft I was floored by what we traded for the guy. And then when he had the hamstring injury I thought they were going to sit him for a year or only partially play him... I kept thinking about all the draft picks wasted.

Now - Im one big smile when I think about matthews as our ROLB.

I liked his move when he went down the middle and chased flacco out of the pocket (even thou didnt pull a sack he made him move and err 'forgot what happened').

FFS we better pay the kid what he wants when it comes time if he keeps this up.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (27-Dec) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (27-Dec) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Dec) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (27-Dec) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (27-Dec) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (27-Dec) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (27-Dec) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (27-Dec) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
