Cleveland Browns DL Jamie Meder has earned AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for games played Dec. 22-26 (Week 16), the National Football League announced Wednesday.
In a 20-17 victory against San Diego on Saturday, Meder blocked a 32-yard game-tying field goal attempt with 3:45 remaining in the fourth quarter to help Cleveland secure the victory. He was the first Brown to block a field goal since Nov. 30, 2014. Meder added one tackle and a QB hit on defense.
This is Meder’s first Special Teams Player of the Week Award and the Browns’ first since WR Travis Benjamin won in Week 2 in 2015.
