Melvin Ingram: AFC Defensive Player of the Month for September

Ingram is the only NFL player to record a sack and score a defensive touchdown so far this season. He returned a fumble for a 2-yard score in the Week 1 win vs. New England. In three games, Ingram has seven tackles (six solo), 2.0 sacks, one pass defensed, two quarterback hits, three tackles for loss, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. He's also the only NFL player to have multiple sacks and multiple fumble recoveries so far this season. In the Week 3 win vs. Buffalo, he made a game-saving tackle by keeping Isaiah McKenzie inbounds, allowing time to expire. Ingram's efforts have helped the Dolphins start the season 3-0 for the first time since 2018.
