Arizona Cardinals Simi Fehoko named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Simi Fehoko captured NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors following a decisive play in the opening week of the 2026 NFL schedule. Fehoko blocked a fourth-quarter punt attempted by Los Angeles Chargers specialist JK Scott on September 13 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

The standout special teams highlight helped lift Arizona to a 26-14 road upset over Los Angeles, which featured 55 defensive plays by the Cardinals and kicked off the coaching tenure of Mike LaFleur. Following the contest, video shared on X captured LaFleur telling his squad in the locker room that they had worked for and earned the victory over Jim Harbaugh's Chargers.
