Ginn Jr. named Special Teams Player of the Week







Special Teams Player of the Week

Ted Ginn Jr., WR/KR, Miami.

No player in this season -- perhaps in many a season -- has had seven minutes like Ginn had Sunday in the Meadowlands. With 10 minutes left in the third quarter, Ginn took a Jay Feely kickoff at the goal line, made a couple of easy cuts, and sped up the right sideline for a 100-yard touchdown. With three minutes left in the quarter, Ginn took a Feely kickoff a yard deep in the end zone, motored into some traffic, made a sick cut right, made another sharp cut, and sprinted up the right sideline again, this one for a 101-yard touchdown. (See video of Ginn's returns here.) Second time in history a man returned two kicks for touchdown in the same quarter. Fairly amazing to see a player race out of the doghouse so explosively.
