FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Special teams can often be overlooked until a breakdown produces a loss. The New England Patriots' special teams units had two major breakdowns in Sunday's 35-28 loss to the Eagles, and thus it's timely to highlight this area and some of the personnel involved.
Specifically, the blocked punt at the end of the second quarter.
Rookie Geneo Grissom was the left guard on the play, aligned next to snapper Joe Cardona. Fourth-year linebacker Darius Fleming was the left tackle, aligned next to Grissom.
