Lions kicker/quarterback Matt Prater named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

Matt Prater didn’t have to line up for any important kicks on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. He didn’t have to kick the game-winning kick, in fact, he only kicked one field goal the entire afternoon.

But because of his touchdown pass to tight end Levine Toilolo, it was enough for Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater to earn NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for the final week of 2018.

This is the 10th time Prater has won the weekly award and the fifth time he has as a Detroit Lion.
