Bills Special Teams Lead NFL
For the third time in the last five years, the Bills special teams unit led the NFL. That’s based on rankings compiled by the Dallas Morning News, and considered by coaches to be the barometer of special teams play. The paper ranks the NFL teams in 22 categories of special teams, including returns, coverage and kicking. The Bills compiled 254 points in their system, 14.5 ahead of the 2nd place Titans. Led by special teams coordinator Bobby April, the Bills scored on a kickoff return, punt return and a fake field goal. All of that came with massive turnover on the special teams, as the Bills rid themselves of veterans Coy Wire, Mario Haggan and Josh Stamer. Blake Costanzo led the team with 26 special teams tackles. John Wendling, George Wilson and Jon Corto were key players on the unit. Roscoe Parrish led the NFL in punt returns for the second straight season.
