Meanwhile, Williams is the NFC Defensive Player of the Week after finishing with four tackles (three for loss), two sacks, and a blocked point after.

Williams has 19 solo tackles, seven sacks, and an interception through Week 13.
Finally, Mann is the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after averaging 51.2 yards in six punt attempts. He had five punts inside the 20-yard line, two inside the ten-yard line, and one inside the five-yard line.
