Will the Packers Efforts to Improve Their Special Teams Units Pay Off?

When we last saw the Green Bay Packers on the field in a game that counts, the poor play of their special teams units was a major reason they lost their home playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Packers had a field goal blocked on the final play of the first half that would have given them a 10-0 lead heading into the break. In the fourth quarter, a blocked punt gave the 49ers their only touchdown of the game. Then, the Packers had only 10 players on the field as San Francisco kicked the winning field goal as time expired.
