All season long, the Cleveland Browns\u2019 special teams unit has been a frequent talking point and not for good reasons. They have struggled with coverage, missed kicks, allowed kickoff and punt return touchdowns, and made mental errors in critical moments, raising questions about Bubba Ventrone\u2019s job security.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s game offered many of the same issues. The unit gave up a 52-yard kickoff return to start the game, immediately putting the Chicago Bears in excellent field position.<\/p>\n

Head coach Kevin Stefanski has repeatedly faced questions throughout the season about these ongoing special teams issues.\u00a0Following the Browns\u2019 31-3 loss to the Bears, and many of the same issues still showing up, Stefanski was once again asked about the unit\u2019s struggles.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, we expect our guys to be able to go out there and perform in some of these situations, and we need to look at it and figure out ways to get guys on the ground. Obviously, when you\u2019re playing in a game like this, you\u2019re playing a field position game, and we didn\u2019t put ourselves in a great spot early,\u201d Stefanski said.<\/p>\n
