When a kicker accounts for seventeen points in a single game, he deserves the spotlight. Hence it’s no surprise that Ka’imi Fairbairn was quite justifiably honored as the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his heroics against the Jets last week.

Needless to say, the Texans don’t win their tenth game of the 2018 season without their kicker’s contributions. Congrats to Fairbairn on this very well deserved accolade.
