Rick Gosselin’s 2023 Special Teams Rankings

NFL writer Rick Gosselin’s annual evaluation of every NFL team’s special teams units is something I look forward to after every NFL regular season.

Gosselin ranks each team in 22 kicking-game categories and assigns points for the best to the worst, with the lower total number the better.

This season, the Texans special teams, led by Frank Ross, was the top unit for the second year in a row. Only two other coaches have ever coached the top unit two years in a row in the 38 years Gosselin has compiled his rankings.

The top five special teams units were (ranked 1-5):

Houston Texans

New Orleans Saints

New York Jets

Las Vegas Raiders

Los Angeles Chargers

The bottom five special teams units were (ranked 28-32):

Buffalo Bills

Green Bay Packers

Washington Commanders

Miami Dolphins

Los Angeles Rams
