The Bills ransacked the Jets 38-3 in Detroit on Monday night by dominating them on offense, defense and on special teams.
Their biggest play on special teams came when a blocked punt extended a 17-3 lead in the third quarter and turned the game into a laugher. Linebacker Manny Lawson fell on the ball in the end zone, but it was running back Anthony Dixon that came up with the block and came home with some recognition from the league.
Dixon was named the AFC special teams player of the week thanks to his block of Ryan Quigley’s punt. It’s the second punt he’s blocked this season and the first time he’s won weekly honors, although it is the third time that a Bills special teamer has received recognition this season. Kicker Dan Carpenter won in Week One and running back C.J. Spiller took it home in Week Two for his work as a kickoff returner.
In addition to his punt block, Dixon also capped the Bills’ scoring for the night with a 30-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
