Forsake special teams at your own peril. You never know when a play in the third phase can turn a game. The Pittsburgh Steelers know this well, thanks in part to their All-Pro special teamer, Miles Killebrew, who has become one of the best in the NFL at blocking punts.
Having recently told reporters that one of the only reasons he ever got recruited even to small colleges was because he actually put special teams clips in his highlight reel, Killebrew has never taken his job lightly. Nor has he an opponent.
That includes the Buffalo Bills, who were greatly aided on their path to the second seed thanks to a pivotal special teams play in the season finale against the Miami Dolphins.
