If that special teams played like that every week I would take it. Jeff Reed made 3 of 5 on the day, unfortuneatly missing the probable game winning field goal at the end of regulation. He's normally money in that situation, but every kicker has a bad day, right Mr. Norwood. This bad day extended the game but didn't cost the Steelers, thankfully. The other one he missed was a 55 yarder, which would have been a career best. So, it would have been a bonus for him to make it but the odds were not in his favor. By the way, do you think Jeff might have been trying a little harder on kickoffs, or possible the wind was just blowing that way, but he had a touchback which is rare for him.
Daniel Sepulveda was outstanding in this game. I doubt he'll average 50 yards per punt, but if he can he will be a real weapon in the battle for field position. He got them out of some jams in this game, one with a 55 yarder.
The returners didn't get much of a chance with a couple touchbacks and fair catches. Randle El held onto one that was timed perfectly by the defender and was hit hard immediately and managed to stay out of the way of another one at mid field when Ryan Mundy was blocked into him.
