Bills getting special effort from special teams
In most places, a special teams play is regarded as nothing more than a lead-in to a commercial break. When the Buffalo Bills are playing, no one is leaving their seats.
It's the sixth touchdown the Bills special teams have scored this season. The five others have come on returns including three by Terrence McGee on kickoffs to match a single-season NFL record.
This is a big turnaround for a franchise whose more memorable special teams moments were mostly negative, including `Wide Right,' and `Music City Miracle.' more (AP)
So soon they forget our great special teams of the past with Pike and Tasker and all of Tasker's probowl appearanced. Under Bruce DeHaven the Bills in general had excellent special teams

During his tenure in Buffalo, the club made four consecutive Super Bowl appearances, won six AFC East championships and appeared in 20 playoff games. In those 13 years, DeHaven helped develop two of the greatest special teams players in NFL history: Mike Pike and Steve Tasker. Under DeHaven's tutelage, Tasker was invited to seven Pro Bowls as the AFC's Special Teams Player and was voted the 1993 Pro Bowl MVP. In 1998 kicker Steve Christie set the Bills' single-season club-records for points (140) and field goals (33) and became the franchise's all-time leading scorer. In 1996, The Dallas Morning News, in a ranking of the 19 most important statistical categories, named the Bills special teams unit the best in the NFL. His 1991 punt coverage unit led the NFL in fewest punt return yards allowed with 53, the lowest total since the NFL changed the rules allowing only the ends to release on punt coverage when the ball is snapped. DeHaven also guided the Bills kickoff coverage unit to a No. 1 NFL ranking four consecutive years (1987-90).
