Joseph, in my experience large blocks of options are usually hedge trades. I think probably someone (or institution, more likely) bought the puts to hedge a LONG position in the stock. Its cheap insurance for a possible short term correction, if you dont want to sell a large block of stock and/or incur tax liabilities.........;^)
