Kind of hard to move Mitchell to the bench after this …
INDIANAPOLIS — Mike Mitchell has made quite the impression in just two weeks’ time.
Today, the National Football League announced that the Indianapolis Colts safety was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his standout performance last Sunday in the team’s Week 7 victory over the Buffalo Bills.
Mitchell’s day included seven tackles (one for a loss), a forced fumble that was recovered by linebacker Darius Leonard, and then an interception, helping lead the Colts to a 37-5 victory that snapped a four-game losing streak.
Mitchell is the second Colts player to be named AFC Defensive Player of the Week this season, joining Leonard, who earned that honor after his 19-tackle, one sack, one forced fumble performance Week 2 against the Washington Redskins.
