MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Miami Dolphins kicker Cody Parkey’s dream debut with his new team just keeps getting better.
The homegrown Dolphins fan from Jupiter was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week on Wednesday following his perfect performance last Sunday in Los Angeles.
Parkey went 5-for-5 on kicks, with four field goals including the 54-yard game winner with just 1:05 left in the game.
“Anything that’s within my range that my leg can do, I feel like I’m a pretty accurate kicker,” Parkey said on Monday. “I go out there and try to kick it the same as I would an extra point, and not really try to emphasize it, and I think that’s maybe why I’ve had success.
