In 2018, (no Trevor Davis) our special teams were -3.9 yards in field position per return versus our opponents.In 2017, (with Davis) our special teams were + 4.5 yards IE, Davis gained us an additional 280 yards of field position in 2017 versus our returners in 2018. That's the equivalent of 28 first downs, a 6.5 % increase in total yardage. In addition, in 2017 Davis had no fumbles or muffs, but in 2018 we had (5 of which were lost). To show you how important special teams are, New England has been ranked in the top five 6 out of the last 8 years. They've been to the Super Bowl 5 times in those same last 8 years, while we've been to Super Bowl 5 times in 52 years.A healthy Trevor Davis is really important to the team</blockquote>
