'No one notices special teams until they notice them.' From Jamal Agnew's returns to Logan Cooke's punts, special teams came up big to help the Jaguars to the AFC South title on Saturday night.
Not only were they noticed — they were sorely needed.
Titans coach Mike Vrabel also had a good memory about Agnew's touchdown that was nullified on Dec. 11 when the Jaguars beat the Titans 36-22. He lamented the fact that his coverage teams didn't learn from their prior experiences. Long snapper Ross Matiscik, who has been battling back spasms so severe the last two weeks that the Jags brought in veteran snapper Garrison Sanborn, has somehow gotten ready to play and remains perfect on all punt snaps and placement kick snaps.
Matiscik credited the Jaguars training staff with helping him get his sore back tolerable enough to play and said it’s been helpful to have Sanborn, a 10-year veteran, take practice snaps for him.
