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

Yeah. They seem give more weight to those long ones. PK's seem to get it more than other positions, but I've seen returners and punters quite a bit, too. Pretty sure coverage players have won it a few time, as well.

Here's a listing on Pro-football reference of every player of the week back into the late '70's!

Morstead was listed several times.

Well, that’s interesting. PFR lists Matt Gay as the AFC special teams winner, not Zuerlein. Zuerlein had a much better kicking day than Gay did. And Gay had no kicks over 50 yards. How the hell does that work out? Edit. I was looking at week 3.

Yeah. They haven't updated weeks 4 & 5 yet.
