All AFC special teamers who played late Thursday or on Sunday in Week 12 had no chance.
Daniel Carlson had a lock on the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 12 after his performance in a 36-33 overtime Las Vegas Raiders win at the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. Wednesday morning, the league made the honor official.
Carlson kicked a game-winning field goal in overtime to seal the win and then he chewed on a turkey leg with Raiders’ quarterback Derek Carr as part of a post-game tradition for the stars of the winning team on Thanksgiving Day.
