Early on this season, amidst a 2-0 start where the Houston Texans have done some things very well and some things inconsistently well, there have been some remarkable individual performances. Perhaps nobody on the team has been mroe critical to the final outcome on the scoreboard this season than veteran kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn.
“Nobody talks about it enough. 'Imi’ is the reason why we won these two games. That's been the player of the game. For him to hit, I don't know how many, six 50-yard field goals, I don't think that's been done before. It's very special for 'Imi’. He's been consistent. He's on it. He's the reason why we're standing here. We talk a lot about offense and defense. The kicking game is the reason why we won this game today.
In the Week 2 win, Fairbairn connected on all four of his field goal attempts, with the distances being an astounding 56, 47, 59 and 53 yards. The record-setting aspect of Fairbairn's performance actually stems from a combination of Weeks 1 and 2, as he became the first kicker in NFL history with six 50-plus yard field goals within a two-game span.
This is the third such honor in Fairbairn’s career, tying him with Arian Foster and the late Jacoby Jones, and putting him behind only Matt Schaub , Deshaun Watson and J.J. Watt for total career Player of the Week accolades as a Texan.
