Hekker has only gotten better this year after an already outstanding season last year. He better make the pro bowl again

Yeah, that was one of the prettiest punts I've ever seen, perfect placement, perfect bounce, only for STs to screw the pooch

I appreciate the highlights I really do. I look forward to having a season extend into January. Truth be told, we are what our record says we are and 6-9 sucks.
