BEREA, Ohio - Browns punt returner Travis Benjamin this morning was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in Thursday's win over the Buffalo Bills at FirstEnergy Stadium.

In that game, Benjamin set a Browns record with 179 punt-return yards, including a 79-yard touchdown and a 57-yard return, which set up a field goal. His 179 punt return yards were the most since Detroit's Eddie Drummond recorded 199 in 2004 (against Jacksonville on Nov. 14). Benjamin broke the Browns record for punt-return yardage set by Eric Metcalf, who had 166 against Pittsburgh on Oct. 24, 1993. Benjamin's performance also was as the sixth-best in NFL history.

Benjamin is the second Brown to win the honor this season - punter Spencer Lanning did so in Week 3.
