If there was such a thing as a plaque or a trophy for being named player of the month, the NFL should have bounced Cairo Santos’s to him off of another object.
The Chiefs kicker earned AFC special teams player of the month honors, after doinking home an overtime game-winner off the left goalpost last week against the Broncos.
That 34-yarder was a dramatic moment for a lot of reasons, but it was just the latest in a string of clutch performances for the native of Brazil.
Santos was 11-of-11 on field goals in November, including a game-winner as time expired against the Panthers as well.
