The end of the regular season brings Rick Gosselin’s yearly special teams rankings. A year removed from the top ten, the Pittsburgh Steelers finished a little below average. They ranked 18th in Gosselin’s rankings with 383.5 “points,” a data set of key special teams metrics including field goal percentage, net punting, and takeaways.
Pittsburgh’s best finishes came with their 29 punts inside the 20, ranking third, and their 95.8% field goal percentage, ranking fourth.
Chris Boswell continued his bounce-back seasons after a miserable 2018, living up to his contract extension. And while the Steelers got off to a bad start of the year with punter Dustin Colquitt, they turned back to Jordan Berry, who did a solid job the rest of the season.
