Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders has been nothing but money this season.
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders is reintroducing himself as one of the NFL’s top kickers. The 2020 first-team All-Pro followed up his AFC Special Teams Player of the Month award for November with AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors for Week 16 with a perfect performance against the San Francisco 49ers.
Sanders scored 17 points in Miami’s 29-17 win — five field goals and two extra points. He improved to 11-of-13 on field goals longer than 50 yards after hitting a game-long 54-yarder late in the third quarter.
Sanders earned AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for going a perfect 10-of-10 in November, which included three from over 50 yards. He’s continued that momentum through December — converting all 11 field goal attempts.
This marked Sanders’ sixth Player of the Week honor and the first since a 5-of-5 performance in Week 16 last season against the Dallas Cowboys. He enters the season’s final stretch with the seventh-most points scored among kickers (121) and a field goal percentage of 89.2 percent.
Jason is:
4th in field goals made (33)
4th in 50+ yard FGs made (11)
11th in FG % (89.2)When he was 1st Team All-Pro in 2020 his FG% was 92.3% (kickers are unreal these days)
He’s made 23 straight, has a game-winner (JAX) + has 9 made FGs combined in the last 2 Dolphins wins https://t.co/nVYp5dygYp
