Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley was named AFC defensive player of the week today.
Woodley had a dominating performance against the Baltimore Ravens in week 16, recording 10 tackles, 2 sacks and 1 forced fumble.
The 3rd year linebacker out of Michigan University, leads the Steelers with 11.5 sacks on the season and has recorded 9.5 sacks in his last seven games.
Meanwhile, Woodley predicted today prior to practice that the Cincinnati Bengals will "lay down" on Sunday to help keep the Steelers out of the playoffs.
"Cincinnati is probably going to go into New York and lay down for the Jets and not play them hard just because they don't want to see Pittsburgh in there," Woodley said, "because they know if we get into the playoffs we're a dangerous team.
