Washington Commanders kicker Joey Slye was named NFC special teams player of the week on Wednesday.
Slye made all four of his four field-goal attempts in Washington’s 32-21 upset win over the previously unbeaten Philadelphia Eagles. Slye made field goals of 32, 44, 58 and 55 yards in the win. His 58-yard field goal just before halftime gave the Commanders a six-point lead.
Slye also made both of his point-after attempts in the win.
Slye has made 13 of his 15 field-goal attempts this season. He’s connected on 14 of his 15 PATs.
It’s the second time in Slye’s four-year NFL career that he has been named the NFC special teams player of the week. Slye won the award back in 2019 when he was a rookie with the Carolina Panthers.
Slye and the Commanders face the Houston Texans in Week 11.
