Hero of the Week

I have decided I will name a hero of the week for each game this season, and since we just finished the first week here is this week’s hero:

Mason Crosby , Kicker

This may well be the only week that I name a kicker as the hero, but the rookie out of Colorado deserves it. In his first NFL game, Crosby was 3/3 including a 53 yard FG and the game winning 42 yarder with time running out. The guy has already shown he can be cool under pressure, and his leg is as strong as any in the NFL.

“I kind of got thrown into the fire in the first test,” Crosby said. “But that’s kind of how I like it. It’s exciting.”

This is the kind of thing you want your kicker to say after his first game winner. The kid loves to play the game.
