Aussie NFL Wrap-up: Week 7

Matthew Hayball – New Orleans Saints

It was a game to forget for the Saints on ‘Thursday Night Football’, falling to a heavy 33-10 loss to the Broncos.

With their starting quarterback and wide receiver absent, New Orleans were fairly clunky on offense.

This saw Hayball make six punts for a total of 267 yards, averaging 44.5 yards. Half of those punts landed inside the 20.

Michael Dickson – Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks claimed a big win on the road in Week 7, defeating the Falcons 34-14.

Myers was still called upon for four punts, though. He averaged 39 yards per punt and placed three of them inside the 20.

Mitch Wishnowsky – San Francisco 49ers

Wishnowsky averaged 48.3 yards across four punts in a blockbuster clash between the 49ers and Chiefs.

He played his part – ensuring three of those punts landed inside the 20 – but his San Francisco side lost to the reigning champs 28-18.

The result saw them fall 3-4, while Kansas City extended their perfect start to the season.

Daniel Faalele – Baltimore Ravens

It was a high-scoring ‘Monday Night Football’ battle between the Ravens and Buccaneers, with the former prevailing 41-31.

Faalele did everything required of him as part of an offensive line which allowed quarterback Lamar Jackson to throw five touchdowns.
