New York Giants’ punter Brad Wing has been named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for the second consecutive week for his work Sunday against the Detroit Lions.
Wing had a 41.0-yard net average on seven punts against the Lions, including one that was partially blocked and went just 18 yards. With the Lions trying to mount a comeback in the second half, Wing had three consecutive punts that forced them to take possession at their own three, four and 19-yard lines. Detroit totaled just 11 punt return yards, and three points on seven possessions following Wing’s punts.
