Linebacker Kwon Alexander was the player of the game for the Buccaneers on defense with 11 tackles, an interception, and a forced fumble in their 23-20 win over the Atlanta Falcons in overtime. His performance was especially inspiring considering it was less than 48 hours after his 17-year-old brother, Broderick Taylor, was shot to death during a fight in their hometown of Anniston, Alabama.
After the game was over Alexander got emotional in the locker room as his teammates expressed their love and support for the rookie linebacker.
