As usual, there’s nothing special about the Green Bay Packers’ special teams.
Green Bay might be 4-0 headed into Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals if not for Rich Bisaccia’s downtrodden kicking units. Against Cleveland, a blocked field goal was the difference between a 13-10 lead and a 13-10 loss. Against Dallas, a blocked extra point turned the tide and a long kickoff return set up the Cowboys for the go-ahead touchdown with a minute to play.
In Packers On SI’s first special teams rankings of the year, the Packers are 24th.
“Trust me,” Bisaccia said after Thursday’s practice, “I’ve been through worse and I’ve been through a lot better, and I expect, hopefully, not to go through anything worse, but I expect the better to come.”
