He was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week Wednesday morning.

It is the first time in his two-year career he has received the honors and he becomes the 35th player in Cardinals history to be named the defensive player of the week.

Wilson’s interception and touchdown gave the Cardinals a 20-14 lead. They never trailed after that point. It was the only go-ahead defensive score of Week 7.
