The Pittsburgh Steelers have a problem on their special teams units, and it has nothing to do with anyone who is running, blocking or tackling. It has everything to do with the players who are, or could be, tasked with kicking field goals, extra points and kickoffs.
Obviously, I’m talking about Chris Boswell and Matthew Wright.
Boswell missed this second straight game in Week 17 due to a groin injury, and his third game of the season, and Matthew Wright filled in, doing so admirably. Wright hasn’t even come close to missing a kick since he has been promoted to the 53-man roster, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his limitations.
The Latest on the effects of the coronavirus outbreak on sports around the world: The Arizona Cardinals have placed receiver Christian Kirk on the reserve/COVID-19 list, leaving them without a key offensive player heading into Sunday’s game against the Rams. Kirk is Arizona’s fourth-leading receiver with 48 catches for 621 yards and six touchdowns.
