New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick is not taking special teams lightly ahead of Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Indianapolis has employed a familiar face with Bubba Ventrone currently coaching the unit. The Patriots signed Ventrone as an undrafted rookie in 2005. He played 17 games on the special-teams unit for New England over the span of four seasons.
Special teams played a huge role the last time these two teams met last December. The Colts were able to block a punt in the end zone and extend their lead to 14-0 by the end of the first quarter.
