Linebacker Keith Bulluck is the AFC Defensive Player of the Week following his 10-tackle, two interception performance vs. St. Louis.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. –** Titans linebacker Keith Bulluck was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his performance in the Titans' 47-7 victory over the St. Louis Rams. Bulluck recorded two interceptions and tied for the team lead with 10 tackles. The Titans defense held the NFL's second leading rusher, Steven Jackson, to a season-low 47 yards on 19 carries.

The two interceptions off Rams quarterback Keith Null added to his total of 19 career interceptions. The multiple interception game by Bulluck marked only the second time in his career he has accomplished that feat. Bulluck combined for 10 total tackles, including one tackle for loss and three passes defensed. It was the fifth time this season Bulluck has tied or led the team in tackles.

This is the second AFC Defensive Player of the Week award for Bulluck and his first since his performance in Week 3 of the 2007 season.

He joins quarterback Vince Young for his performance in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals and running back Chris Johnson for his performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 8.
