The NFL named Titans punter Craig Hentrich the AFC Special Teams Player Of The Week Tuesday.
In the team's playoff-clinching victory at Houston, Hentrich matched his season high with seven punts for a 45.9-yard average and a 40.7 net average. It was the third time this season that he netted more than 40 yards on four or more punts.
Hentrich moved into sole possession of first place in the AFC with a 37.5-yard net punting average heading into the final week of the regular season, and he now stands tied with New Orleans punter Mitch Berger for the league lead. He is third in the AFC with a 43.6-yard gross average on 68 punts, and he has placed 24 of his punts inside the opponent's 20-yard line.
This week's award marks the fifth time in Hentrich's career that he has won Special Teams Player of the Week accolades. He most recently won the award following his performance in this season's opener.
