In this must-win contest, Folk connected on all five of his field goal attempts for the Titans in their win.

One of the elder statesmen in the league, the 39-year-old Folk became the oldest player in NFL history to connect on three field goals over 50 yards. In all, he hit from 53, 52, 47, 51, and 29 yards on his kicks against the Dolphins. 

For the 17-year veteran, this is the seventh time he has connected on five field goals in a game and the 11th time Folk has received the award.

With the Titans in their bye week, Folk won’t have a chance to go for a 12th award until their Week 6 match-up against the Indianapolis Colts.
