Buffalo Bills cornerback Taron Johnson has been honored by the NFL for his efforts in Week 10 against the Indianapolis Colts.
In that 30-20 win for the Bills (8-2), Johnson played a big role. His game was highlighted by a pick-six interception and a sack against Colts quarterback Joe Flacco.
Following the outing, Johnson has been named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week for Week 10:
In recording a pick-six and sack, the 28-year-old became the first defensive back in team history to put together such an outing.
In total, Johnson had three tackles including one for loss against the Colts. The DPOTW honor is the first in Johnson’s career.
The Bills have five total Player of the Week honors so far in 2024. Most recently, kicker Tyler Bass won the Special Teams Player of the Week Award last week against the Miami Dolphins.
