Stephen Gostkowski

The big story of the week was Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski getting placed on IR with season-ending hip surgery.

Stephen Gostkowski can add detective to his resume apparently. The Patriots kicker helped police solve the case of his missing iPad recently.

Fresh off of his 54-yard, game-winning field goal Sunday against the New York Giants, New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week, today.

The Patriots bounced back from last week's somewhat shocking season opening loss with a 30-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings, yesterday.
