Sunday's Jets-Giants game was a punt-fest, so it's fitting that the winning punter is being honored.

Morstead punted 11 times and landed three of them inside the 5-yard line. He averaged 48.1 yards on his punts, with a 43-yard net average.

It's Morstead's seventh career special teams player of the week award.
