Redskins SLB Brian Orakpo racked up six tackles (five solo), an incredible four sacks, and a forced fumble in Sunday's win over Oakland.
The effort vaults him into the mix for Defensive Rookie of the Year honors along with Texans SLB Brian Cushing, Bills S Jairus Byrd, and longer shots Clay Matthews, James Laurinaitis, and Terrance Knighton. Orakpo leads the Redskins with 11 sacks and has been a dynamic pass rusher off the edge.
