Packers who need to play better: Special Teams

Okay, so this isn’t a player, but it’s a unit the Packers need to step up.

Special Teams hasn’t been as bad as last year, but they’re still pretty poor. They’re prone to one-to-two mistakes per game that have cost the team big time. This version of the Packers isn’t anywhere good enough to overcome giving up scoring opportunities or set the opposing team up with great field position.

They have the third-worst special teams DVOA in the NFL. I’m not asking them to be elite or make game-changing plays. The bar is low and to cross it, they must simply not screw it up.
