Pats’ special teams finish 13th – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston

The special teams were mostly reliable throughout the 2012 season for the Patriots, with highlights including a kickoff return for a touchdown by Devin McCourty and two special teams touchdowns by Julian Edelman. Other more forgettable plays include a blocked punt early in the season, as well as a near kickoff return for a touchdown allowed to open the AFC divisional round against the Houston Texans.
