Tennessee Titans kicker Nick Folk has been named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in the Week 2 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.
While Folk only made two field goals, one of them was a game-winner from 41 yards out in overtime. The other came at the end of the first half and was good from 33 yards. Folk was also a perfect 3-for-3 on extra points.
