Miami punter Michael Palardy named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week

Winning is contagious and the Miami Dolphins are finding success in all three phases on the football field.

Miami’s punter, Michael Palardy, was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his success against the Giants on Sunday afternoon.

Palardy sent a punt 65-yards, a new career-long, on one of his six attempts against New York. The first-year member of the Miami Dolphins averaged 48.33 yards per punt, his third-highest total behind 51.80 yards per punt against Buffalo in Week 8 and 51.33 against Atlanta.

Palardy, who spent five years in Carolina, forced three fair catches and placed three punts inside the 20-yard line.
