For the majority of the 2025 season, the Denver Broncos' special teams unit has been an unmitigated disaster. They were easily one of the worst units in football, and their undisciplined approach to the game-winning field goal attempt in Week 2 against the Colts cost them a game that might be the difference between the top and second seeds. On top of miscues such as this, their kickoff coverage has routinely been burned and cost the defense significant field position.
However, the Broncos' special teams unit has been considerably better of late. Ever since the block of AJ Cole by special team specialist JL Skinner, the unit has been performing much better.
