Browns special teams continue to be their Achilles Heel

Through five games the Cleveland Browns special teams have been far from special. Of course, the most egregious of special teams blunders belonged to placekicker Zane Gonzalez, who lost his job after missing two field goals and two extra points in that Week Two loss to the Saints.

If you thought the Cleveland’s placekicking deficiency was resolved after Gonzalez was replaced with undrafted rookie Greg Joseph, think again. Joseph was a perfect three-for-three on PATs and four-for-four on field goals in his first two weeks of work, but left Browns fans weary after missing a PAT in Sunday’s win over the Ravens then barely squeaking that game-winning 37-yard field goal through the uprights.
