Chad Ryland Named NFC Special Teams Player of the Month

The NFL has announced its Players of the Month for October, with standout performances from various players across the league. Lamar Jackson of the Ravens led the AFC with impressive stats, throwing for 12 touchdowns and rushing for 193 yards, while Jared Goff of the Lions achieved a historic completion rate of 84.3%, earning him NFC offensive player of the month honors. Kicker Chad Ryland was recognized as NFC Special Teams Player of the Month after making three game-winning field goals for the Cardinals, including two as time expired. His performance marks a significant turnaround after a challenging rookie season with the Patriots. Meanwhile, the Lions continue to shine with multiple players earning accolades, reflecting their strong 6-1 start to the season. This recognition for Goff is particularly noteworthy, as no Lions quarterback has won such an award since 2013.
