CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carolina Panthers kicker Graham Gano was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Month for October, the NFL announced on Thursday.
The Florida State product was 8-for-8 in field goals in October, including field goals from 63 yards and 54 yards.
Gano owns the NFL’s longest active field goals made streak at 28, which stands as the Carolina franchise record. He has also hit 39 straight field goals at home, also a franchise record.
Gano hit a career-long 63-yard field goal in the final seconds of the fourth quarter to defeat the New York Giants in Week 5, which tied for the longest game-winning field goal in NFL history and earned him NFC Special Teams Player of the Week.
This is Gano’s second career NFC Special Teams Player of the Month Award. He earned the same award in November of 2015.
