2. Bojorquez and McKenzie earn Special Teams honors for Week 17
In Peter King's Football Morning in America, he gave the honor of Special Teams Players of the Week to Corey Bojorquez and Isaiah McKenzie. The two players had phenomenal games against Miami and helped prove why Buffalo has one of the best special teams units in the league. Bojorquez led the NFL in average punt yards with 50.8 and had a 72-yard punt in week three which is the longest punt in the NFL this season. McKenzie who was filling in the Andre Roberts had the team's first punt returned for a touchdown since Marcus Thigpen in 2014. Here's what King had to say about the two Bills special teamers:
Special Teams Players of the Week
Corey Bojorquez, punter, Buffalo. Might have had the punt of the year late in the first quarter, and it came at the worst time possible for the Dolphins' sputtering offense and helped knock Miami out of the playoffs. Late in the first quarter, Miami up 3-0, Bojorquez booted from his own 45. The third-year punter from New Mexico angled to his right a high, deep punt, and it bounced and traveled out at the half-yard line. Miami, playing it ultra-safe with wobbly QB Tua Tagovailoa, went three-and-out and punted. Buffalo took over at midfield and drove for the go-ahead TD. Buffalo scored three more touchdowns before halftime and the rout was on—started by a simple, perfectly placed punt.
Isaiah McKenzie, wide receiver/punt-returner, Buffalo. The versatile fourth-year player, picked up off waivers from Denver in 2018, had the greatest day of his NFL life—and it only took one quarter. After catching seven and 14-yard TD passes from Josh Allen in the second quarter, McKenzie took a punt from Miami's Matt Haack at his 16-yard line and sprinted through traffic to the left. Then his speed took over on his way to the 84-yard TD. Gorgeous return set up by excellent blocking.
