Graham Gano named NFC special teams player of the week

ZroUw1bs8nw2
Mike Florio and Charean Williams break down the NFL's contingency plan to expand the NFL playoffs to 16 teams depending on COVID-19 while speculating the possibility of a Week 18 and how that might impact teams.

Graham Gano didn’t play at all in 2019 and didn’t find a new team until just before the start of the 2020 season. But the Giants are glad he was available.

Gano is having a strong season and has been named NFC special teams player of the week for his performance in Sunday’s win over Washington.

The 23-20 win saw Gano go 3-for-3 on field goals (from 38, 48 and 42 yards) and 2-for-2 on extra points.

Gano is now 19-for-20 on field goals and 13-for-13 on extra points this season. His only miss was a 57-yard attempt on a windy day in Chicago. He’s not just back in the league, he’s among the best kickers in the league.
