Hekker Named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

Hekker boomed an impressive 78-yard punt against the Jets in Week 10, becoming the first punter since Luke Prestridge in October 1984 to record a 75 yard punt in back-to-back games. He booted a 75-yard punt against the Panthers in Week 9.

During Week 10, the two-time Pro Bowl punter had seven punts for 362 yards (51.7 yard average), a career best 78-yard punt and four punts inside the 20-yard line, without allowing a touchback.

Hekker (2) joins Sean Landeta (5) as the only Rams punters to win multiple Player of the Week awards.
