New York Giants linebacker Michael Boley was pretty excited to play his former team for the first time on Sunday. And he played so well he was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week.

Boley, the former Falcon, won the honor for his performance in the Giants’ 34-31 overtime win over Atlanta. He had 13 tackles, a sack, two tackles for losses and two quarterback hits. Unfortunately, he also struggled a bit in coverage on Atlanta tight end Tony Gonzalez, including on the game-tying touchdown late in the fourth quarter.

Boley is the first Giants linebacker to win the award in 12 years, since Jessie Armstead won it in Week 15 of 1997. He’s also the second Giant to win the award this year, joining defensive end Justin Tuck who won it for his five-tackle, 1 ½-sack game on opening weekend.
