Arizona Cardinals punt returner Ted Ginn Jr. was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Week Wednesday for his performance in Week 2.

Ginn’s 71-yard punt return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter gave the Cardinals a 19-14 lead over the New York Giants. They would go on to win 25-14.

The punt return touchdown was the fourth in Ginn’s career and first since Week 1 of 2011 when he returned a punt 55 yards for a score for the San Francisco 49ers in a 33-17 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Just :59 earlier, Ginn had returned a kickoff 102 yards for a score.

The weekly special teams honor is the third in Ginn’s career and the 22nd time a Cardinals player has won the award.
