For a month in which he made two field goals of 55 yards or more, Broncos kicker Wil Lutz was named Thursday as AFC special teams player of the month for October.

During the month, Lutz made all six of his field-goal attempts and all nine of his extra points as the Broncos went 4-0. The month included Lutz making a 55-yard field goal at Philadelphia on Oct. 5 and a 57-yarder on Oct. 12 against the New York Jets in London, the longest boot in his three Denver seasons.

“It was great,’’ Lutz said about the award. “Obviously, it’s cool to get recognized. It was a good month. We didn’t kick a ton of field goals, but we had some big ones. Anytime you have team success it helps with these individual recognitions.”

It marks the third special teams player of the month honor for Lutz and his second with Broncos. Lutz, in his ninth NFL season, won NFC special teams player of the month for the New Orleans Saints for September 2018, and his first AFC award came with the Broncos in November 2023.

Sean Payton has been Lutz’s head coach when he has won all three monthly awards.
