Suisham Named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week

Wallaceburg’s Shaun Suisham, kicker for the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers, has been named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week.

Suisham, who kicked the game winning field goal for the Pittsburgh Steelers as time expired in a 19-16 win over the Baltimore Ravens, has received this honour four times in his career.

During the Steelers’ Week 7 game against Baltimore, Suisham kicked four field goals form 34, 28, 38, and 42-yards, with his longest being the game winner. The winning kick was Suisham’s 8th game winning field goal of his career.

This season, Suisham is a perfect 14-for-14 on field goals, and also remains perfect on extra points. His start is the best of his career.

Pittsburgh and Suisham visit the Oakland Raiders this weekend.
