But that +10.0 doesn't encapsulate the special teams penalty on a missed 44 yard FG that allowed for a chip shot FG. Essentially put 3 points on the board with that. It also doesn't take in to account our 2 kickoff returns did NOT make the 15 yard line. It doesn't take in account the downfield blocking for a punt where Cooks had room to work and he gets nothing.
I ain't buying what is being sold with 1st in the NFL on special teams...as I've said on numerous post, without Morstead our spec teams would be hosed.
