One area that has been a problem all year for the Green Bay Packers is special teams. The Packers have received next-to-nothing from their return units all season, and their coverage units leave plenty to be desired. Only kicker Mason Crosby has salvaged this unit, which according to multiple methods of measuring overall success ranks among the NFL’s worst.
However, for the second straight postseason game, the Packers are facing a team with special teams units that are just as bad as their own. Green Bay’s Divisional round opponents, the Los Angeles Rams, joined the Packers among the NFL’s worst special teams and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are right in the mix as well.
