Texans rookie Brian Cushing was named AFC defensive player of the week Wednesday for his performance in last week's victory over Cincinnati.

Cushing had nine tackles, an interception and forced two fumbles in the Texans' 28-17 victory that evened their record at 3-3.

Two of the turnovers came in the fourth quarter, including an interception at the Texans' 11-yard line that stalled the Bengals' comeback.

Cushing is the first Texans defensive player to win the award since Mario Williams in 2007.
