With his second award and first one in five years, Mike Nugent has joined Doug Pelfrey as the only Bengals kicker to be named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week at least twice.
Nugent got it for kicking the Bengals into overtime against Seattle last Sunday on a 31-yard field goal at the gun and then winning it from 42 in overtime.
Ironically, the kick moved Nugent past Pelfrey into second place on the Bengals’ all-time overtime field goal list with three. In seven seasons Pelfrey had just two chances in OT and hit them both.
