When the Cleveland Browns traded for kicker Dustin Hopkins, they were hoping to gain some consistency with a proven veteran. Through the first six games, the Browns have not only gotten that consistency out of Hopkins, they've gotten record-breaking performances.
On Sunday against the Colts, Hopkins nailed two 54-yard field goals, proving his range is deeper than many gave him credit for before the season started. It wasn't the first time, either. Hopkins has made a 50+ yard field goal in five consecutive games this season. His kicking helped lead the Browns to their big win over the then-undefeated 49ers. He was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for that performance.Against the Colts, Hopkins hit numerous 50+ yard field goals, even hitting his career-long of 58 yards in the fourth quarter.
The Browns knew they had a shot at a reliable kicker when they got Hopkins, but six games into the season, the move to bring him onto the team looks even sweeter for Cleveland. RELATED: Next Man Up: Browns K Dustin Hopkins aims to provide consistency; also enjoys practicing rodeo skills, dancing
