KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs sit atop the AFC with a 12-1 record thanks to plenty of contributors, including third-string kicker Matthew Wright.
Wright hit the [game-winning 31-yard field goal](https://www.kshb.com/sports/football/chiefs/game-report-chiefs-clinch-9th-straight-afc-west-crown-by-sweeping-chargers) Sunday night — hitting the upright in the process — to give the Chiefs a 19-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers and the AFC West division title.
Wright was honored Wednesday as the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week.
In addition to the game-winning kick, Wright hit three other field goals — from 47, 33 and 50 yards — in addition to converting an extra point.
It’s not the first time Wright has brought home Special Teams Player of the Week honors. He won the award in Week 6 when he was with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Wright is on the team because of injuries by starter Harrison Butker and second-stringer Spencer Shrader.
Last month, Chiefs linebacker Leo Chenel won AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors thanks to his [last-second block](https://www.kshb.com/sports/football/chiefs/chiefs-leo-chenal-named-afc-special-teams-player-of-the-week) of an attempted game-winning field goal by the Denver Broncos.
