There were a lot of things wrong with the LA Chargers in 2020 but the worst of all was the team’s special teams unit. The Bolts had the worst special teams group in the league and it was not particularly close.
While not as popular as the offensive and defensive side of the ball, being bad on special teams can be a death sentence for a team.
