I’m sure that Tennessee Titans kicker Ryan Succop is a nice guy. And there’s no doubt he’s a very good football player. But when ESPN NFL insider Adam Caplan sent out the winners of the weekly awards in the AFC, and he was listed as the special teams Player of the Week, it was shocking.

AFC Players of the Week (15): Off: Matt Moore/QB/MIA, Def: Bruce Irvin/LB/OAK, ST: Ryan Succop/K/TEN — Adam Caplan (@caplannfl) December 21, 2016

Why was it such a surprise? Because Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell had a game for the ages last week against the Cincinnati Bengals. On a day where the Steelers offense could get no traction, Boswell carried the team. He hit all six of his field goals, with three of those coming from 49 yards.

But even bigger perhaps than his kicks, Boswell’s one tackle in the game might be enough to win the award. Cincinnati kick returner Alex Erickson had found a seam and was headed for a sure touchdown on a return late it the second quarter. The only guy left with a chance was Boswell and it was slim. But he somehow caught up to him just enough to make a shoestring tackle and save the score. The Steelers defense held the Bengals to a field goal and so Boswell saved his team four points. Pittsburgh won by four.

The notion that Succop’s two field goals and one extra point somehow tops what Boswell accomplished is asinine. No player did more for their team last week, offense, defense or special teams than what Boswell did.
