Marvin Lewis has confirmed that Darrin Simmons will return as the Bengals’ special teams coordinator and that he may have more responsibilities added onto his job in 2018.
It is no surprise that Simmons will be returning after rumors swirled that he could be a possible replacement for Lewis if he were to leave the team.
Simmons led a special teams unit that only allowed one touchdown against them in 2017. They did also allow a huge return by Baltimore in Week 17 that set up a big touchdown before the half though as well and was part of a horrible minute of football for the Bengals.
