There is a strong case to make that no team in football has had a worse special teams unit this season than the Denver Broncos. Darren Rizzi has been under constant fire this season, and for what feels like a different reason each week. Once again in Week 10, the Broncos' special teams unit laid a major dud to start a close game.
Punter Jeremy Crawshaw turned in his worst performance of the season on Thursday night, which was only amplified by two astonishing punts by AJ Cole for the Raiders. Broncos coverage has been suspect at best all season, and the only consistent performer on returns, Marvin Mims, is currently sidelined with a concussion.
