I think it had to do with being 6-6 on all kicks and with both FG's being over 50 yards. It also appears that five of seven kickoffs were touchbacks and on the other two the returns were held short of the 25 yard line.

Pretty decent numbers there across the board, but not the best in the league. Greg Zuerlein won the AFC award going 5-5 on FG's, 2-2 on XP's, and had touchbacks on all eight of his kickoffs.
