Despite a defeat, Kene Nwangwu emerged victorious in the end.
The NFL has announced that the New York Jets kick returner has been named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week following his team's award to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13.
Nwangwu made his New York debut against Seattle and his impact was noticeable. Nwangwu ripped one off :
99-yard kickoff return TD for AFC Special Teams Player of the Week!
Congratulations, ❕❕❕
– New York Jets (@nyjets)
Nwangwu's return for a goal was the first the Jets had in three seasons. Nwangwu has returned four kicks for touchdowns throughout his career.
In addition to Nwangwu's TD, he also forced a fumble on special teams against the Seahawks.
While the Jets (3-9) have had a brutal performance in recent weeks, the team definitely won the special teams battle against Seattle…largely because of Nwangwu.
will continue to provide all updates for the remainder of the 2024 season.
