Saints P Thomas Morstead wins NFC special teams player of the week for Week 1
New Orleans Saints punter Thomas Morstead earned his first NFC special teams player of the week award of the season after his dominant performance in the punting game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1.
Morstead had six punts for 264 yards for an average of 44.0 yards per punt. Five of his six punts landed within the 20-yard line, flipping the field for Tampa Bay's to start deep within its own territory.
"This should be named NFC special team of the week," Morstead said in a tweet. "Blocked kick, great punt returns set up by great blocks, elite gunner play, fumble recovery, 100% kicks & good snaps."
Morstead won the weekly award twice last season after the Saints' Week 3 win over Seattle and Week 6 win over Jacksonville. He also brought home the NFC's special teams player of the month for September.
Before the 2019 season, Morstead hadn't won a weekly award from the league since his rookie campaign in 2009. He was named the NFC's player of the week twice that season.
