In what might be the least surprising award a Cardinal has ever won, Haason Reddick was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week Wednesday morning after his five-sack game in New York.
Reddick set the franchise record for sacks in a game, beating Curtis Greer s 4½ mark from a game in 1983. He was the first NFL player to have that many sacks in a game since Atlanta s Adrian Clayborn had six in a game in 2017.

Arizona Cardinals outside linebacker Haason Reddick had five sacks Sunday against the New York Giants, setting a franchise record and becoming the first player in the NFL to hit that number this season.
The magnitude of the moment hit Reddick at the end of the game, when he said he broke down in tears. Filled with joy; felt blessed, Reddick said. This whole year has just been important to me and to see things going the way that I want them to go, to see today happen is just amazing. So, I m still processing it and I m still trying to wrap my head around it.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. â Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs overcame a 30-yard sack, four turnovers and a 10-point deficit Sunday to clinch their fifth consecutive AFC West title by beating Miami 33-27 on Sunday.
Mahomes was picked off three times, his first multi-interception game in more than two years, but threw for 393 yards and two scores to help the Chiefs (12-1) earn their eighth consecutive victory.
Tyreek Hill ran through the Dolphinsâ secondary and behind it, scoring on a 32-yard run and a 44-yard reception when Mahomes hit him in stride at the goal line.
Travis Kelce had eight catches for 136 yards and a touchdown, Mecole Hardman scored untouched on a 67-yard punt return, and Kansas Cityâs defense was stout against Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphinsâ injury-riddled offense. Chris Jones sacked the rookie for a safety for a 30-10 lead.
