Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu was named the NFL’s 2011 Defensive Player of the Year by the Associated Press on Monday night, narrowly edging Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews for the honor.

Polamalu received 17 votes on Monday from a nationwide panel of media members, while Matthews finished second with 15 votes. Polamalu’s teammate, linebacker James Harrison, was third with eight votes. Polamalu finished with seven interceptions in 14 games this season, helping spark the Steelers’ defense.

Also receiving votes were Chicago defensive end Julius Peppers with six and linebacker Brian Urlacher with two, while Baltimore safety Ed Reed and nose tackle Haloti Ngata got one vote each.
