Third player this season (after Chris Jones and Julian Edelman).

What do I really know? I thought cutting Mesko was just to save money. Now Mesko is not even in the league. Great job Allen. His punts consistently puts us into the best position you hope for.

Allen was tremendous... but I can't help think about this guy...

 

[Kontradiction]

Allen should be AFC Special Teams Player of the Year for the amount of errant snaps he's corralled.

Allen was tremendous... but I can't help think about this guy...

Turning point, IMHO.

Do punters often get the award? Punter is always kind of a thankless job.

Yes, about three or four weeks out of the year in each conference they do. Punters can have their occasional turn in the spotlight if they drill a lot of kicks inside the 20 in a close defensive/field position type game.
