FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Falcons safety Lawyer Milloy was nominated for Defensive Player of the Week honors Tuesday afternoon.
Milloy recorded eight tackles (six solo) and one interception in the teams 20-16 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Twice Milloy made tackles on third down that resulted in a loss of yards, forcing San Francisco to kick field goals instead of getting into the end zone. His interception was his first since joining the team prior to last season.
"(Defensive coordinator Mike) Zimmer has an outstanding package for anybody playing the strong safety position," Milloy said. "He called my number today in some crucial situations and, as a leader of this team, when your number is called you have to be ready and you have to go out there and produce."
