Report: Bills special teams coordinator Heath Farwell leaving

The Buffalo Bills and special teams coordinator Heath Farwell are parting ways.

Tom Pelissero has reported that Farwell with be joining the Jacksonville Jaguars as their special teams coordinator under new head coach Doug Pederson. Farwell joined Buffalo in 2019 after two years as the assistant special teams coordinator with the Carolina Panthers. He played in the NFL for nine years with the Vikings and Seahawks, earning a Pro Bowl nod in that role in 2010.

The Bills are coming off two consecutive top-10 finishes in Rick Gosselin’s special teams rankings and Farwell oversaw the development of franchise kicker Tyler Bass, but the kickoff against the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round with 13 seconds remaining looms large as a season-defining mistake.
