49ers DE Nick Bosa named NFC Defensive Player of the Month
Nick Bosa's outstanding performance in November earned him NFC Defensive Player of the Month honors.
Bosa led the way for a San Francisco defense that allowed only 26 points in three November contests, including none in the second half. His fourth-down sack of New Orleans Saints quarterback Andy Dalton was his third sack of the month and secured a shutout victory for San Francisco.
