After the 2014 NFL season's Week 1, the Miami Dolphins celebrated the selection of running back Knowshon Moreno as the AFC Offensive Player of the Week. After the 2015 season's Week 1, the team is again celebrating, this time for wide receiver and punt returner Jarvis Landry, who was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. Landry scored the game-winning touchdown on a 69-yard punt return in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins.

Landy's touchdown was the final score in a 17-10 contest. Landry also tied his career high with eight receptions during the game, gaining 53 yards.
