Chad Ryland had himself a day. He snagged NFC special teams player of the week honors after a performance where he scored every single one of Arizona’s points on Sunday. Talk about clutch.
Kicking His Way To Victory
He didn’t score a few points; he absolutely carried the team. Ryland nailed all six of his field goal attempts. And how’d he finish it? With a walk-off 43-yarder to seal the win. You can’t draw it up better than that.
A Historic Day For The Kicker
That six field goal performance wasn’t only impressive; it was historic. Those six kicks are the most in a single game across the entire league in 2026. Plus, he tied a franchise record for most field goals in a game. He’s now alongside Neil Rackers, who did it in Week 4, 2005, and Jim Bakken, Week 13, 1973, in the record books. This incredible showing also marks Ryland’s first ever career special teams player of the week award.
What a way to kick off his awards cabinet, showing exactly what he can do when the pressure is on.
