Vikings’ Joseph Named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week
EAGAN (WJON News) -- Vikings' Joseph Named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week
Greg Joseph received the honor for Week 16 after nailing a 61-yard game-winning field goal, which was a personal best and a franchise record.
With their 27-24 win on Saturday over the New York Giants, the Vikings improved to 12-3 on the season. Joseph was perfect in all of his kicks, in addition to the 61-yarder, he also made a 40-yard field goal and all three extra points.
So far this season, Joseph's five game-winning field goals ties John Kasay and Jan Stenerud for the most game-winning field goals made in a single season.
