TAMPA — Roberto Aguayo dabbed his head with a towel but could not wipe the smile off his face Sunday after kicking four field goals in the Bucs' 19-17 win over the Chiefs.
He had fallen one field goal shy of the club record held by Martin Gramatica, who sent him a congratulatory text message that he read in the jubilant visitors locker room at Arrowhead Stadium. When the NFC named Aguayo its special teams player of the week Wednesday, quarterback Jameis Winston had a message for those who had been trolling the rookie.
"Now I'm glad people can get off his back … and they can see this is why we got this guy," Winston said.
