Tyler Matakevich Is An Elite Special Teamer

Tyler Matakevich will never be an All-Pro linebacker. Far from it.

But when it comes to playing special teams, Dirty Red is as good as it gets. He reminded all the fans who wanted him cut, and the ones who still do, of that Sunday night.

Matakevich notched two more special teams tackles versus the Los Angeles Chargers. Each came on kick coverage and added to his already impressive total. Here are both of them.

On his first tackle, Matakevich runs through WR Geremy Davis, finds the ball, and makes the stop before Dez King can make it back to their 25.
