Special teams played a critical role in the Cleveland Browns improving their win total to seven games in 2014.
Game-winning field goals from Billy Cundiff against the Saints and Falcons coupled with blocked kicks against the Titans (Tank Carder) and Buccaneers (Billy Winn) were without a doubt season-altering plays from Cleveland’s special teams unit.
But special teams coordinator Chris Tabor recognizes improvements need to be made in 2015, and it starts with the return game. Cleveland ranked 24th in the league in kick return average, 25th in punts with just 7 yards per return and produced no returns for touchdowns.
