When the Buffalo Bills signed Stephen Hauschka away from the Seattle Seahawks this offseason, they envisioned the veteran placekicker making an immediate impact in Orchard Park. Performances like Sunday’s 26-16 win over the Denver Broncos, when Hauschka was a perfect 4-for-4 on field goals and converted both of his extra point attempts, validate the Bills’ decision to bring in Hauschka to replace the talented but inconsistent Dan Carpenter.
Hauschka’s strong outing earned him the AFC’s Special Teams Player of the Week honors for Week 3, the second time in his career he’s earned the award.
