DeAngelo Hall named NFC defensive player of the week
Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall has been named, not surprisingly, the NFC defensive player of the week following his record-tying four-interception performance in Sunday's win over Chicago.

Hall, who leads the NFL with five interceptions on the year, returned the second of his four picks 92 yards for the touchdown that put the Redskins ahead for good. He tied a record held by 18 others, most recently Denver's Deltha O'Neal in 2001.

On Tuesday, Hall's jersey was sent to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

Redskins safety LaRon Landry was the NFC's defensive player of the week following an Oct. 10 victory over Green Bay.

As expected.

A brief side note - GTripp, that was very eye-opening about Hall. So he only defended 6 of 41 passes going into this game? Clearly this was a great game for Hall, but it makes me wonder whether I should be thanking the stars for having Hall... If perhaps he swatted down half of those passes aimed at him, we could stop other teams on 3rd downs and may not need any interceptions in the first place.. Hard to figure out.
