After a perfect day of work last week against the Washington Football Team, Graham Gano was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week on Wednesday morning.

Gano went 3-for-3 on field goals on Sunday, nailing kicks from 38, 42 and 48 yards, while also hitting both of his extra-point attempts.

Additionally, of Gano's six kickoffs, three of them were touchbacks.

Since joining the Giants this offseason, Gano has been nearly perfect on the field. Through Week 9, Gano has hit 19-of-20 field goal attempts and is a perfect 13-for-13 on extra points.

His streak of 18 made field goals is the third-longest in Giants history, only behind Josh Brown (29-straight from 2014-2015) and Aldrick Rosas (20 from 2018-2019).
