The Broncos had one of the NFL's better special teams units last season, but their group has struggled mightily so far this year. Darren Rizzi rejoined Sean Payton in Denver after a stint in New Orleans that culminated in being an interim head coach last season. The issue for the Broncos, however, has been in how poorly Rizzi's unit has played.
The Broncos have been a mess on special teams all year. Six games in, you can name an issue on special teams from each game, highlighted by an undisciplined leverage call that cost them a victory in Indianapolis in Week 2, and now an inability to cover the Jets' return team in Week 6.
