I personally think Bills safety Jairus Byrd should have won it, but with him landing on IR, and Cushing playing out the entire season, I can see why many would go with Cushing. The award is for 16 games played, not 11. So, congrats to Brian Cushing and the Texans, who just celebrated their first winning season in franchise history.
