Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo has been a walking field goal for the Jaguars (2-2) since signing with the team in October 2017. This was the case against the Denver Broncos (0-4) during Sunday's 26-24 comeback victory, a game where he nailed a 33-yard field goal to win the game in the closing seconds.

For his efforts Sunday, Lambo has been named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. Along with his game winning field goal, he also hit three other field goals (25, 40 and 34 yards) and two extra points, accounting for 14 of the team's 26 points. 

"During the month of September, Lambo made all 10 of his FG attempts, in addition to all six of his PAT attempts. He is the only kicker in the NFL this season to have converted on 100 percent of his kicks (10 for 10) with at least 10 attempts," the team said in a release.

"Lambo is now the third kicker in franchise history to earn AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors, joining Mike Hollis (three-time selection) and Josh Scobee (eight-time selection), and the first since Scobee won the award in Week 13 of the 2014 season."
