Masthay punted eight times and landed five inside the 20-yard line in the Packers' 9-0 win at the New York Jets on Sunday. Thanks to Masthay's hang time, the Jets didn't have any punt return yardage in the game.

He fully deserved it. Awesome performance. Really caught me off guard too.

SPECIAL TEAMS: P TIM MASTHAY, GREEN BAY PACKERS

Masthay punted eight times, placing five inside his opponents 20-yard line, for a gross average of 44.0 yards and a career-best 41.5-yard net average in Green Bays 9-0 win at the New York Jets.
With five punts dropped inside the 20, Masthay tied a single-game franchise record (stat kept since 1976), tying DAVID BEVERLY, who accomplished the feat on October 8, 1978 against Chicago.
The Jets did not register any punt-return yardage, and their best starting field position following a punt was their own 23-yard line.
In his first season from Kentucky, this is Masthays first career Player of the Week Award. He is the second punter in franchise history to win NFC Special Teams Player of the Week, joining CRAIG HENTRICH (Week 11, 1994).
