GREEN BAY, Wis. – For the first time in a decade, a Green Bay Packers punter was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week. Pat O’Donnell earned that honor on Wednesday for his work in the Week 3 victory at Tampa Bay.
O’Donnell punted seven times against the Buccaneers. Five of them pinned the Bucs inside their 15-yard line. That includes one caught by Keisean Nixon at the 2. The performance of the O’Donnell-led punt team played a role in Green Bay earning a resounding 144-yard advantage in field position.
“I though Pat O’Donnell was huge today,” coach Matt LaFleur said after the game.
