The Broncos signed Connor Barth in late November, but no one was better in December.

The veteran kicker was named AFC special teams player of the month, a nice achievement for a late-season replacement.

Barth hit 10-of-11 field goals and all 13 of his PATs last month, scoring 43 points.

He had a pair of four-field goal games, and hit 5-of-5 against the Chargers in Week 15.
