He is the first Cardinal to accomplish the feat since Jim Hart on November 23, 1975. It is the seventh time in his career that he has won the weekly honor.

Making his first career start, Horton notched three tackles, two interceptions and recovered a fumble in the Redskins (web|news) ' 29-24 win over New Orleans.
