Pretty decent numbers there across the board, but not the best in the league. Greg Zuerlein won the AFC award going 5-5 on FG's, 2-2 on XP's, and had touchbacks on all eight of his kickoffs.

Yeah, it was a good day for him. Just surprised it won him the award.

Chicagos kicker Cairo Santos (great name) was 8 for 8 with 4 FGs. His longest was only 43 though.
