After spending the last couple of weeks ranking the offenses and defenses in the AFC East, we are moving on to the third phase of the game, special teams. We will be taking into account everything involving special teams. Those factors include kickoffs, punting, field goals, and even specific players who make an impact on special teams.
The Patriots have the best kicker in the division, and possibly one of the best kickers in the league, in Stephen Gostkowski. Last season, he connected on 37 of his 40 field goals and only missed 2 extra points. Gostkowski was also second in the league with 156 total points.
