Vikings kicker Blair Walsh has been named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in the win over the Giants.
While Walsh missed an extra point, he made all five of his field-goal attempts, including one from 53 yards and another from 52.
Walsh has now made 32 of his 37 field-goal attempts this season.
This was the fifth NFC Special Teams Player of the Week award for Walsh in his four NFL seasons. That is the most in Vikings history.
