Cleveland led 10-3 in the second quarter when he forced a fumble on a kickoff return. His teammate, Rayshawn Jenkins, recovered it.
It set up the Browns’ second touchdown of the day.
“He was awesome,” said Kevin Stefanski, Browns head coach. “Grant was flying around. That whole safety position. Grant is playing at a really high level, a leader for us, just great on and off the field, but, man, he’s playing physical.”
Delpit also sacked Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and forced a punt.
This is Grant Delpit’s first career weekly league award.
Cleveland’s next game is on Sunday when they play at New England in Foxboro, Massachusetts.
