The Broncos have fired special teams coordinator Ben Kotwica, a source told The Denver Post on Friday.
Kotwica was hired by Denver in 2023 and has been credited with transforming the special teams unit to one of the best in the league. This season, the Broncos ranked first in punt return yards (15.7), 15th in kick return yards (28.0) and sixth in field goal percentage (91.2%).
Denver was also seventh in punt attempts pinned inside the 20-yard line with 33.
Despite the special teams success, the blocked field goal attempt in Week 10’s loss to the Chiefs left a major stain.
