It’s been anything but a smooth ride for the Bengals’ special teams unit so far in 2018. After back-to-back disastrous performances against the Falcons and Dolphins in Weeks 4 and 5, the problems the unit had were extremely evident. The issues continued to persist against the Chiefs two weeks later and some were wondering if it was a lack of experience or just bad coaching that was causing the problems.
But some of the oldest veterans on the team make up the core of this unit, and they’ve continued to be stalwarts in weekly operations.
