If someone had told a San Francisco 49ers fan coming into this season that special teams would be a strength, they probably would have laughed.
Now, the question has become whether the Niners can keep the unit intact.
Last Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, the 49ers won, thanks in large part to their special teams unit. Punt returner Skyy Moore nearly took a punt to the house and has been a huge asset in both the punt-return and kick-return games as of late.
He nearly took a kick return to the house on the first play of the game against the Arizona Cardinals, so he'd been a huge boost even though there were a lot of questions when they initially added him since he has had problems with muffing punts in the past.
