For the second week in a row, Blackson blocked a field goal. He is the first NFL player to do so in consecutive weeks since Olivier Vernon in 2012. He leads the NFL in blocked field goals after blocking four kicks at Auburn.

Blackson blocked a 54-yard field goal try by Buccaneers kicker Matt Gay in the first quarter of a 23-20 win.
