The Green Bay Packers are entering the postseason with one of the worst special teams groups in the NFL. Shawn Mennenga’s unit finished 29th in Rick Gosselin’s annual special teams rankings and 25th in special teams DVOA.
Amazingly, the Packers might still have a special teams advantage on Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Divisional Round.
The Rams, led by first-year coordinator John Bonamego, ranked 30th in Gosselin’s rankings and 30th in special teams DVOA.
It’s possible the fears of the Packers losing a playoff game because of the special teams can be quieted for at least one week.
