After an effective special teams week in a 30-27 win against the Las Vegas Raiders, Kansas City Chiefs punter&nbsp;Matt Araiza was recognized by the National Football League as the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. 

&nbsp;Of Araiza's five punts in the matchup, all five landed inside the 20 yard line, with one landing inside the one yard line after a grab and pitch by running back Emmett Johnson to safety Xavier Nwankpa.&nbsp; Early in the game, Araiza also executed a fake punt perfectly and running for a first down for the Chiefs.&nbsp; Through four games, Araiza leads all NFL punters in yards per punt and has allowed the seventh-fewest return yards. 

Araiza also has the highest rate of punts that land inside the 20-yard line.&nbsp; Four punters have launched a longer punt than Araiza this year, but the long of 69 yards is still a top five mark.
