After 24 years, Brandon Aubrey receives his first monthly ST award.

 

Texas’s Frisco Brandon Aubrey has won another award, this time for special teams, one day after taking home the NFC weekly honor. It’s for the month of October this time.

In recognition of his outstanding play in the Cowboys’ four October games, Aubrey was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Month on Thursday.

Aubrey recently scored two more field goals, one of which was from 58 yards, in the Rams’ victory last Sunday. With that, he tied the NFL record for the most field goals made in the first year of a career by extending his streak to 18 games. If Aubrey makes another successful field goal this weekend against the Eagles, he will tie Travis Coons (18 in 2015) for the NFL record held solely by him.

Aubrey had a 3-for-3 game on October 1 against the Patriots and a 1-for-1 game on October 8 against the 49ers this month. He went 2-for-2 against the Chargers following the bye week, making the game-winning field goal in the fourth quarter, and he then made both of the field goals against the Rams.

In addition to making all 18 of his field goals, Aubrey has scored 17 consecutive extra points after failing on his first try in Week 1. With 71 points, he ranks third in the NFL in scoring, and with 43 touchbacks on kickoffs, he leads the league in touchbacks.

After Chris Boniol (1996), Jason Tucker (1999), and Richie Cunningham (1997), Aubrey is the fourth Cowboys player in team history to win this monthly award. He is also the first player to do so in 24 years.

Micah Parsons was named NFC Defensive Player of the Month for September, making Aubrey the second Cowboys player to win a monthly honor this year.
