Jason Trusnik snags first career interception
by Reginald James | Mon, Dec 15th 4:20pm EST
Trusnik made his sixth start of the season replacing an injured Jelani Jenkins logging seven tackles (three solo) and defended two passes. He also picked off Tom Brady in the first quarter after the Patriots had entered Dolphins territory, getting the first interception of his career, and the first by a Dolphins linebacker this season.
Fantasy Impact:
Trusnik joined fellow linebacker Kelvin Sheppard as a backup who started on Sunday. They performed admirably in the first half helping to hold the Patriots to 14 points, Brady to 82 yards passing and Rob Gronkowski to zero catches. At the start of the second half however, things quickly fell apart. The Patriots dropped 24 unanswered points in the third.
