I figured he'd get it next week after kicking a 61-yarder game-winner against the Eagles to break the field-goal streak record.

he makes me feel things no other kicker has made me feel since dan bailey

A real gm would have signed a veteran.

Must've been a pretty quiet week in special-teams-land.

(Don't get me wrong, love Aubrey, but this feels like a pretty mundane game to be winning Player of the Week honors.)

I think it is primarily because he tied the first-year consecutive field goal record. If he makes his next one, it's all his ... and he'll probably get the award again.

Tell us who you really root for.

Well deserved.

He should be. He's the best kicker in the league.

He just tied an NFL record and he did it with a 58 yarder.

Aubrey reminds me of when the Cowboys would just unearth good kickers out of nowhere like Chris Boniol, Richie Cunningham (who flamed out after a great start), Billy Cundiff, Nick Folk, then Dan Bailey.

It's early but he's on track to challenge Bailey as the best of them all.

Agreed. Justin Tucker is the best active kicker career-wise but based on the "here and now" Aubrey is the best.

I remember when a lot of guys said that he shouldn't be on the team and the front office was cheap and didn’t know what they were doing.

He's a great story, and worth his weight in gold should his success continue.

"After being released from the Bethlehem Steel FC in 2018, Aubrey decided to use the degree he got at Notre Dame to become a software engineer. While watching an NFL game in 2019, a placekicker missed a field goal and his wife told him: "You could do that." From 2019 to 2022, Aubrey worked with a former Mississippi State kicker and kicking coach Brain Egan three times a week." (Wikipedia)

Going cheap at kicker is the right play. These guys can fall off at any given time. However I see a lot of Dan Bailey in Aubrey and I think he'll be the answer here a long time.

It's a far cry from being nervous with Brett Maher for sure.

I mean pretty much. I guess I still have PTSD from the previous kickers but my confidence in him keeps gaining by the week. Its hard for me to think this guy is really this good and I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop but it hasn't.

He has to be Pro Bowl and All-Pro if he keeps this up.
