After starting the season 1-7, the Dolphins have ripped off five consecutive wins to put themselves back in the playoff picture.
Miami got a solid performance from punter Michael Palardy in Sunday’s 20-9 victory over the Giants and now Palardy has been named AFC special teams player of the week.
Palardy punted six times, averaging 48.3 yards per punt with a long of 65 yards. He also had three punts downed inside the 20-yard line.
It’s the first time Palardy has been named special teams player of the week.

The Dolphins have a bye in Week 14 but will try to even their record at 7-7 against the Jets next Sunday.
