The second year defensive end did indeed earn NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors, after his 3.0-sack game against the Packers on Monday night.

According to the NFL, this marks the first time a Bears player has registered three sacks against the Packers.

It was McClellin's first sack that knocked Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers out of the game with a fractured collar bone.
