Mike, have to disagree on the special teams. Maybe, if you want to boil it down to a much better showing in the punting game, ok. But those back to back penalties on the same punt that gave a first down was inexcusable. Add in the botched snap and fielding the kickoff basically out of bounds, I thought it was a very poor performance from that part of the team. Can’t have that against better teams.

Return blocking was great, Adams showed the ability to be a weapon in the return game, the one punt was a huge improvement, and all the kicks went in while kickoffs were great as well. The penalties were an issue, no doubt, but it happened on one possession and then didn’t the rest of the game. I don’t view it was a poor performance overall.
