Green Bay — It wasn't a great finish to the 2015 season for Green Bay Packers special teams coordinator Ron Zook's units.
The performance in the season-ending loss to the Arizona Cardinals did not reflect the overall improvement the groups made in Zook's first season. Punter Tim Masthay had a terrible game, linebacker Nate Palmer committed a penalty that lost the team 30 yards in field position in the first quarter and punt returner Micah Hyde failed to field a short punt that ended up bouncing inside the 10-yard line.
In the playoffs every mistake is magnified, and in an overtime game even little miscues can be the difference in the game.
