San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner has been named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week after his outstanding performance against the Dallas Cowboys. Warner recorded 8 total tackles, 1 sack, 1 interception, and 1 forced fumble in the game. This marks Warner's third time receiving this honor, but his first since 2020. He is the first 49ers player since NaVorro Bowman in 2013 to achieve a sack, an interception, and a forced fumble in a single game. Despite playing only 36 snaps, roughly half of his usual workload, Warner managed to deliver an impressive performance. His contributions have put him in the conversation for the Defensive Player of the Year award, with the last off-ball linebacker to win the award being Luke Kuechly in 2013.
