Special teams players of the week are usually little guys, who either kick or catch kicks and run fast.

But Texans defensive end Angelo Blackson made a big impact last week.

Blackson was named AFC special teams player of the week, for blocking a field goal in the Texans’ important win over the Titans.

The former Titans draft pick also had a couple of tackles on defense, contributing to an impressive all-around game as the Texans took the lead in the AFC South title race.
