Isaiah Pola-Mao has been named AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his showing in the 19-14 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16.
The third-year safety totaled nine total tackles and two forced fumbles against the Jaguars, both career highs in a single game for Pola-Mao. He also notably played 100 percent of defensive snaps – one of three Raiders defensive players to do so on Sunday.
He is just the second defensive back in franchise history (since 1999) to record multiple forced fumbles in a single game – joining Charles Woodson (three times).
"He's vocal. He has a quiet confidence about himself now," Head Coach Antonio Pierce said of Pola-Mao. "He has all the ability in the world; tall, long, can run, ball skills, physicality showed up last night. He's really put himself in a good place. And it really started in the offseason when he was here every day after the Super Bowl."
Pola-Mao is the second Raider to win AFC Defensive Player of the Week this season, the other being Maxx Crosby in Week 2. This is also the first DPOTW award of Pola-Mao's NFL career.
