It's not a primary concern, but I looked it up and there's some truth to this, more than I thought there would be actually (all regular season stats)....
-KO return TDs in both 2019 and 2020. Each year only had 7 KO TDs, so lately they're well above average there.
-No Punt return TD since 2012, though, and 101 Punt TDs have happened since 2012, so that's pretty bad.
-Last punt block was 2018, but there's only been 45 punt blocks since 2018. So it's not terribly out of norm at all.
-Last FG block was 2017, 67 FG blocks since 2017, so they're below average there.
...so their Punt Return TDs have been really lacking, their KO Return TDs have been great lately, their Punk Blocks have been about average-ish, and their FG block is lacking.
Admittedly these are just massed stats and don't take into account that bad special teams are bad and good special teams are good, but still... Other than punt return TDs there's nothing to really be massively worried about.
