Chiefs special teams film review, Week 18: Appreciating rookie contributions

Our @WesleyRoesch goes to the film to highlight some #Chiefs rookie special teams performances from Week 18 and the entire 2022 regular season.

After a rough Week 17, the Chiefs’ special teams unit got back on track in Week 18 in a 31-13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

It’s good that special teams could be hitting their stride heading into the playoffs because the Chiefs will need to see mistake-free football from all three phases in order to make a Super Bowl run. Kansas City’s special teams was indeed mistake-free in Week 18, with some good plays being made by a few of the team’s rookies.

This week’s review will highlight the Chiefs’ rookie contributions on special teams, particularly from a few high performers. Additionally, check out my special teams stats, snap counts and grades for individual players via Google Sheets for a deeper look into the unit’s performance.
