3. Can Riley Dixon be counted on in the clutch?
I think we can all agree that veteran punter Britton Colquitt was wearing down.
His punting average was steadily declining, going from 46.3 yards per punt in 2012, to 44.5 in 2013, to 44.2 in 2014, and finally just 43.6 last season.
Yet, he was at his absolute best when the lights were the brightest.
In the postseason, Colquitt punted a whopping 23 times, and averaged nearly 47 yards each kick. He also pinned opponents inside their own 20-yard line nine different times. As a result, the Denver Broncos defense was able to wreak havoc on opposing offenses.
So far this season, rookie Riley Dixon has punted 10 times with a 46.9 average, but has only dropped a single punt inside the opposing 20.
Colquitt was a huge weapon last year in the postseason. Dixon will need to shore up his game if he is going to do the same.
