Andre Szmyt is officially the AFC special teams player of the week, an award the Browns kicker absolutely earned after his clutch performance, accounting for 11 crucial points in their Week 2 road victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Seriously, you gotta respect a kicker who steps up like that on the road.
Szmyt’s Week 2 Heroics in Tampa
Dude was lights out in that 23-19 road win against the Bucs. Szmyt delivered, making all three of his field goal attempts. And it wasn’t just the long bombs, he was money on both of his extra point attempts too. When a game comes down to a four-point difference, every single kick matters, and Szmyt nailed it every time. That’s big time performance right there.
Kicking Consistency Is the Real Deal
This isn’t Szmyt’s first rodeo winning this award either. He already snagged AFC special teams player of the week back in Week 3 of the 2025 season. Talk about a repeat offender, in the best way possible! Looking at his stats so far this season, the guy is still absolutely locked in. He’s perfect, 4-of-4 on field goals and 3-of-3 on extra points. That kind of consistency early in the season can be a total game-changer for a team, giving them confidence every time they cross the 50-yard line.
What a start for Szmyt and the Browns’ special teams unit. When you’ve got a kicker who can consistently put points on the board and perform under pressure, especially on the road, that’s a massive weapon. Keep an eye on this guy because if he keeps this up, he’s going to be a major factor for them all season long.
