Colin McCarthy is the AFC defensive player of the week

On Monday, Rosenthal revealed that he has a man-crush on Titans linebacker Colin McCarthy.

The league office approves of that message.

McCarthy has been named the AFC’s defensive player of the week, thanks to nine tackles, two fumble recoveries, and a forced fumble in a 23-17 win over the Bills.

McCarthy had 11 tackles, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries against the Bills. In the last four games he’s posted tackle totals of 12, 10, 11 and 11 while filling in for injured Barrett Ruud. McCarthy is expected to start again this Sunday against the Saints.

A rookie from Miami picked in the fourth round of the draft, McCarthy is the first Titan to secure the honor since linebacker Keith Bulluck in 2009.
