In one of the lowest-scoring games of the season, field position was at a premium.
That’s a big part of why Chargers punter JK Scott was named AFC special teams player of the week after Los Angeles’ 6-0 victory over New England in Week 13.
Scott punted eight times in the contest, with seven of them downed inside the 20-yard line. According to the league, that’s the most punts downed inside the 20 in a single game since Brett Kern had eight back in Week 6 of 2019.
This is Scott’s second career player of the week award, as he also earned the honor for his performance in Week 12 of last season.
