After his punt return touchdown sealed the Bengals’ victory on Sunday, Brandon Tate has been named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week.
On the day Tate had three punt returns for 73 yards, including that 56-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter of the Bengals’ 34-12 win. Tate also had four kickoff returns for 113 yards.
The touchdown was the first on a punt return for the Bengals since Peter Warrick scored one in 2003.
A former third-round draft pick of the Patriots, Tate was claimed by the Bengals off waivers from New England on September 4, after Tate failed to make the Patriots’ 53-man roster.
Tate's 186 all purpose yards last week alone are more than Ocho Cinco has all season.
You guys still think letting Tate go wasn't a mistake? He's doing better than ALL of our kick returners this year.

Re: LOL! Brandon Tate named AFC Player of the Week!
Quick, everyone jump in and say how the SWORE we should have kept Tate and not trade for Ocho...you know, the same people who SWORE they should have gotten rid of Tate and "loved" the ocho trade?
where y'all at?
oh thats right, you're to busy packing away your pats gear and starting threads about how a 5-2 teams sucks and coaches should be fired, players should be cut and all that jazz.

Re: LOL! Brandon Tate named AFC Player of the Week!
good for him
however, Edelman is a better punt returner by a good margin. he just has been injured (or arrested it seems). so Tate was our 2nd best punt returner, our 1st best kickoff returner, and our 5th or 6th or 7th best receiver.
it was probably a tough call, but not one that we should lose sleep over.

I'm right here. Take a look at the little statement under my screen name. That went up the moment the third greatest player in New England Patriots history was let go. As you say, the day he signed with Cincinnati, I packed away my Pats gear and donned black in mourning of Brandon Tate's dismissal.
Brandon Tate is the ACC's all-time leader in punt and kickoff returns and continues to be a great player on special teams. Great for him.
As for the guys who remain, I was surprised that Julian Edelman was the one arrested Monday night when it's Chad Ochostinko who is desperately groping to find his place in this offense.
Re: LOL! Brandon Tate named AFC Player of the Week!
he was a Good KR last year and the replacement for Ellis Hobbs after going two years without a Good return man, i guess he's down fall was not being Good on KR covrage and Matthew Slater is + he's not a great WR, i will not lose any sleeping over BB cutting him but i also did not see a reason to cut him
