Bigby named Defensive Player of the Month

Green Bay Packers safety Atari Bigby has been named NFL Defensive Player of the Month for December. During the month of December, Bigby tallied a tied-for-league-leading four interceptions and nine tackles. Bigby came up big in the Packers Week 15 victory over the St. Louis Rams, where he had a career-high two interceptions. Bigby received Defensive Player of the Week honors for that effort.

Bigby is in his second season out of University of Central Florida and has started all 16 games for the Packers this year. He has recorded 86 tackles, five interceptions, nine passes defended, and three forced fumbles this season.

Bigby joins defensive end Aaron Kampman (October) as the Packers' second Defensive Player of the Month.
