Vikings kicker Greg Joseph named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

Kicker Greg Joseph became the first Vikings player since last November to earn a conference player of the week honor.

Joseph was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week after making a career-high five field goals, including the deciding kick from 47 yards away, during the Vikings' 28-25 win against the Saints. Joseph earns the team's first such honor since receiver Justin Jefferson in Week 11 last season, and the first Vikings kicker to do so since Dan Bailey in 2019.

Joseph has made 8 of 10 field goals [80%] — including 1 of 3 from 56 yards — and 8 of 9 extra point attempts [88.
