‘Under Matthew Smiley, the Bills finished No. 1 in Football Outsiders’ special teams DVOA. That stands for defense-adjusted value over average and is a system that breaks down every NFL play, then compares a team’s performance to a league baseline based on situation in order to determine value over average. In veteran NFL writer Rick Gosselin’s annual rankings, the Bills finished fifth. Gosselin’s rankings, which are accepted as the league standard, track 22 kicking-game categories, including returns and coverage, punting, takeaways, giveaways and penalties.’
