Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has been named NFC Special Teams Player of the Month for November, after leading the NFL with 15 made field goals, 61 points and 16 extra points during the month. The honor comes right after Myers’ perfect outing in Seattle’s 26-0 shutout of the Minnesota Vikings, where he drilled four field goals and two extra points.
Myers’ award caps a scorching month in which he was about as automatic as any kicker in football. Over November, the veteran went 15-of-16 on field goals and hit all 16 of his extra-point attempts, pacing the NFL in both field goals made and total points with 61.
The run was punctuated by Seattle’s Week 13 win over Minnesota, where Myers accounted for 14 of the Seahawks’ 26 points and drilled four field goals, including three from 50-plus yards. That performance followed a busy month that also featured a five-attempt day against the Los Angeles Rams and three perfect outings on the road.
This is not just a hot streak out of nowhere. Myers has already set the franchise record for field goals made, passing Stephen Hauschka and pushing his total past 180 career kicks in a Seahawks uniform. He’s also been one of the league’s most reliable long-distance weapons, with Seattle relying on his range from 50 yards and beyond the past several seasons.
On the season, Myers has converted 28 of 33 field-goal attempts and all 38 of his extra points, giving him 122 points through 12 games — the most in the NFL heading into Week 14. That consistency is a big reason Seattle sits at 9-3 and right in the middle of the NFC playoff race.
It’s also the second straight month a Seahawk has taken home a Player of the Month honor, after Jaxon Smith-Njigba earned NFC Offensive Player of the Month for October, underscoring how balanced this roster has become on offense, defense and special teams.
What Jason Myers’ Award Means for the Seahawks
This award is more than a line on Myers’ resume. It highlights one of Seattle’s biggest hidden advantages down the stretch. With an offense that’s capable of moving the ball but still hits the occasional red-zone stall, having a kicker who’s nearly automatic from 50 and in is a massive luxury.
Seattle has leaned on Myers all year to finish drives. He hasn’t missed an extra point, and his field-goal percentage sits in the mid-80s despite a heavy diet of long attempts.That reliability changes how the Seahawks can call plays on third and fourth down, knowing they’re in realistic scoring range once they cross midfield.
The timing of the award also matters. The Seahawks are coming off a dominant defensive performance against the Vikings and now hit the road to face the Atlanta Falcons on December 7, followed by an important home stretch that will shape the NFC West race. A dependable kicking game is often the difference in close December contests, especially away from home.
For Myers personally, this is the latest reminder that he’s been one of the league’s top kickers over several seasons in Seattle. He’s already put together a Pro Bowl year and multiple franchise records, and this November run shows he’s still in peak form in Year 11.
Stats, Schedule & Context for Seahawks Fans
- Team record: Seahawks are 9-3 after their 26-0 win over the Vikings, moving into a tie atop the NFC West.
- November line for Myers: 15-of-16 on field goals, 16-of-16 on PATs, NFL-high 61 points.

If Myers keeps this up, Seattle’s special teams could quietly swing a playoff game — or even the division — before the season is done.
