Raiders DE Chandler Jones wins AFC Defensive Player of the Week
Chandler Jones had one of the biggest games of his career in Week 13 against the Chargers. After having a pretty quiet season to date, Jones was completely dominant against Los Angeles in a big AFC West battle.
Jones recorded three sacks, all of which occurred in the first half. He also recorded two tackles for a loss and one pass deflection that nearly led to an interception. For that performance, he was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week.

This is the seventh time that Jones has been named the Defensive Player of the Week, but it’s his first time doing it with the Raiders. The last time he won the award was in Week 11 of 2021 as he recorded two sacks and three QB hits against the Seahawks.
