GREEN BAY - No one with the Green Bay Packers may be feeling more pressure heading into the playoffs than special teams coach Shawn Mennenga.
A year after Mennenga was hailed for clearing up the mess he inherited from former special teams coach Ron Zook, his units have been taking on water the last nine weeks and are the team’s Achilles heel heading into the playoffs.
As fans of the Packers witnessed in 2014, special teams mistakes can cost you a trip to the Super Bowl and the test of how well coach Matt LaFleur’s team is equipped to make it to Tampa in February could rest with the performance of Mennenga’s units.
