Bills returner Andre Roberts and the kick return unit lead the NFL with a 30.4 yards per return average.
How close is the Bills kick return unit to breaking a big one?
Very quietly Buffalo’s kick return unit has been a difference maker for the Bills offense this season. Ranked in the top five in the league since Week 4, the Bills kick return unit currently sits atop the league with an average of 30.4 yards per return.
They also lead the league in average drive start off kickoffs as they average just past the 29-yard line for their offense (29.4), more than two yards better than any other team in football.
The only thing missing now is a scoring play. One that comes on a deep kickoff, with all due respect to Micah Hyde’s onsides return for a score in Week 7.
“I think we’re extremely close,” said core special teamer Julian Stanford. “A lot of times it’s just one block away. I think we just keep working on our fundamentals and our technique… it’s coming.”
