Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey named NFC Special Teams Player of Month for September

Brandon Aubrey has been named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Month for September.

The decision comes as no surprise as Aubrey has been absolutely incredible through the first four games of the season. He is a perfect nine of nine on field goal attempts to date, and one of those helped secure a win from 64 yards out as it pushed the Cowboys to an overtime that they (he) ultimately won with another field goal.

Aubrey is one of the most consistent players on the Cowboys but across the entire NFL as well. He is staking his claim to the kicking throne across the league in just about every respect.

The mothership’s Nick Eatman put it well in noting that since Aubrey joined the Cowboys in 2023, there have been to date only nine of these awards (being the Special Teams Player of the Month for your conference) and that Aubrey has won four of them. That is absurd.

Serious kudos to Aubrey and the Cowboys special teams staffers (including John Fassel and his group who discovered Aubrey when he was running the show) for all of the work here. Brandon Aubrey does the kicking, but this is a testament to the overall operation.
