Special Teams

Special teams in American football refer to the units and plays that occur during kicking situations. This includes kickoffs, punts, field goal attempts, extra point attempts, and their corresponding returns. Special teams play a critical role in determining field position and can significantly impact the outcome of a game. Special teams require specific skills and coordination and often involve players who may not play in regular offensive or defensive roles. The performance of special teams can swing the momentum of a game and often plays a crucial role in close contests.
