While the Bengals' offense and defense have taken turns carrying the team, special teams has consistently been a strength.
The Cincinnati Bengals have made it to 9-2 this season thanks in large part to an explosive offense and a stout defense.
However, another area in which the Bengals are excelling, as they've done many times in recent years, is on special teams. Once again, special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons has constructed a unit that's excelling in just about every facet of the most overlooked side of the ball.
The man who's been as instrumental to this success as any one player has during Simmons' tenure is a fourth-string running back with just 64 career carries in eight NFL seasons.
