After scoring his second career touchdown and stepping in as the Rams' returner in a tough spot, safety Blake Countess has been named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.

When inside linebacker Cory Littleton blocked a Chargers' punt in the second quarter of Sunday's victory over the Chargers, Countess was right behind Littleton to fall on the loose ball in the end zone for a touchdown. It was Countess' second special teams touchdown of his career, after returning a blocked punt for a touchdown in 2017 against the Eagles.
