Broncos special teams coach Joe DeCamillis said he didn’t sleep at all Sunday night. His special teams unit, a typically well-prepared, high-performing bunch, had a terrible game in the Broncos’ 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.
“That was the worst game that I’ve ever been a part of special teams-wise,” DeCamillis said. “It was tough to go through (on film). It’s uncharacteristic. Everybody has a turn, including me.”
Broncos punt returner Jordan Norwood muffed two punts, losing one and recovering the other near the end zone. The Chiefs soon after recorded a safety. The Broncos also allowed a free kick touchdown return by Tyreek Hill, had an illegal procedure on a field goal which removed a Chiefs field goal and led to a touchdown, and missed a 62-yard field goal that would have won the game.
