Nick Folk earns NFL honor after historic performance vs. Texans originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Has Nick Folk been the New England Patriots' best player in 2021?
At the very least, the veteran kicker is the only Patriot to earn NFL recognition for his strong play. Folk was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week on Wednesday after making all four of his field goal attempts -- including a 21-yard game-winner with 15 seconds remaining -- in New England's 25-22 victory over the Houston Texans.
Folk connected on field goals of 52, 52, 32 and 21 yards, keeping the Patriots in the game before their eventual comeback win.
