Jason Pierre-Paul's biggest play of the Giants' victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday came on special teams, but he was dominant enough at his regular defensive end spot to warrant an honor there.
Pierre-Paul was named the NFC's defensive player of the week for recording two sacks of Tony Romo (one of which was a safety) and a forced fumble of Felix Jones that led to a field goal. Pierre-Paul also led the team with eight tackles (six solo).
Pierre-Paul, who has 12.5 sacks this season and could get enough votes from the players and coaches to offset not being on the fan ballot, joins Mathias Kiwanuka (Week 9 vs. Patriots) as the only Giants named defensive player of the week this season.
