Single game special teams records after six weeks
As Week 7 of the very first AFLE season approaches, we take a look at the single game special teams records that have been set so far. Six weeks in and some standout performances have already found their place in the history books.
Most kick return yards in a game
Brandon Belgrave, Firenze Red Lions, Week 4 vs London Warriors: 270 return yards
Most punt return yards in a game
Amani Dennis, Vienna Vikings, Week 5 vs London Warriors: 127 return yards
Most field goals made in a game
Sebastian van Santen, Rhein Fire, Week 2 vs London Warriors: 2 field goals
Longest field goal in a game
Sebastian van Santen, Rhein Fire, Week 2 vs London Warriors: 55 yards
Most kicker points in a game
Sebastian van Santen, Rhein Fire, Week 2 vs London Warriors: 11 points
Van Santen stands out here with three records all set in the same game, a Week 2 performance that showed what a difference a reliable kicker can make. Belgrave’s 270 kick return yards is the kind of number that turns heads, and Dennis’s 127 punt return yards in a single game is a reminder that special teams can swing momentum in an instant. With ten weeks still to play, there is plenty of time for new names to appear on this list.
