During head coach Mike Tomlin’s tenure as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, special teams has always been an impactful factor or the Black and Gold, one that can help swing games, and has done so in the past.
The work the special teams is doing this season though under long-time coordinator Danny Smith is rather remarkable, though.
Entering the Week 8 Monday Night Football matchup against the New York Giants, the Steelers are riding high on special teams, having blocked a kick or punt in three straight games. Those blocked kicks have changed the game for the Steelers in all three weeks, though they are just 2-1 in those games.
