KUECHLY WINS NIGHT TRAIN LANE AWARD: Pro Football Focus senior analyst Sam Monson reveals linebacker Luke Kuechly as the 2015 winner of the Dick "Night Train" Lane Award, given to the best pass coverage defender in the NFL. Max Henson noted that Kuechly set the goal of improving his pass defense prior to the season. Needless to say, Luke delivered. Monson writes that Kuechly played on another level in 2015, proving to be a mismatch for both tight ends and wide receivers.
