New Orleans Saints punter Thomas Morstead easily had the best game of his career in last Sunday’s matchup against Tampa Bay; his flawless performance saw six punts for 264 yards, with New Orleans’ special teams allowing just one return for 0 yards, with five of them pinning Tampa inside the 20-yard line. Moreover, his pop-up punt in the 4th quarter led to a crucial fumble recovery by Bennie Fowler III. Accordingly, Morstead is the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.
Nicknamed ‘The Leg’, Morstead is the epitome of a dark horse player.
