Gostkowski drilled all four of his field-goal attempts and hit on both of his extra points in Sunday’s 26-10 win over the Los Angeles Rams, earning him AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors for the second time this season. Gostkowski was the NFL’s most accurate kicker over the previous three seasons, but he’s struggled during the current campaign, missing seven kicks (four field goals, three extra points) through 12 games. Sunday marked just his fifth perfect effort this season. “It’s a start,” Gostkowski said after the game.
