There was little doubt that it would happen, and now it’s official.
With two kickoff returns for touchdowns against the Chiefs on Sunday, Browns receiver Josh Cribbs has been named the AFC special teams player of the week for the second straight time.
He now holds the all-time career record for kickoff returns for a touchdown, with eight. That’s two more than a cluster of other players, including Gale Sayers and Dante Hall.
“That guy is special,” a league source told us earlier this morning.
So, Mr. Holmgren, please pay the man.
