ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- One game, Denver special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis is getting a game ball from coach Gary Kubiak in a jubilant locker room after a blocked extra point led to the first defensive 2-point game-winner in NFL history.The next, hes wincing as the Broncos muff two punts, allow an 86-yard touchdown return and line up wrong on a field goal, giving the Chiefs a do-over they turn into a touchdown, a four-point gaffe in a gut-wrenching three-point loss.Its the worst game Ive ever been a part of special teams-wise, DeCamillis said Thursday in his first public comments since the Broncos 30-27 overtime loss to Kansas City on Sunday night.It was tough to go through. Its uncharacteristic because the one thing that we pride ourselves on since we have been here is our coverage teams and we just didnt play well, DeCamillis said. Everybody had a turn, including me. When you play like that you obviously dont do a good job. We have to get that picked up really quick.DeCamillis said he didnt sleep one bit. It was a rough night. My kids were all in and my family was all there. It was a pitiful night. Weve never had a game like that here and I dont want to have another one like that again.The Broncos (7-4) face another good special teams unit Sunday at Jacksonville (2-9), but Kubiak said special teams didnt get special attention this week.He said there were too many other problems to fix, like a defense that couldnt protect an eight-point lead in the final seconds and an offense that couldnt protect quarterback Trevor Siemian, who sprained his left foot on a sack and hasnt practiced all week, putting his availability against the Jaguars in doubt.Plenty of players on both sides thought Denver had escaped all its slips on special teams with a tie when Cairo Santos 34-yard field goal as overtime expired clanked off the left upright.Instead of ricocheting, however, the ball sliced across, whizzing just inside the opposite post .You talk about lucky bounces. Ive never seen one like that, DeCamillis said. I heard it clang from over on the sideline. He must have gone to Mass that morning and said his Hail Marys and everything. In 29 years, Ive never seen one go through like that. Ive seen them clang on the inside of the upright and go in that way, but not sideways.It was an oddly fitting end to a frustrating night for Denvers special teams.The game-winner came a minute after Brandon McManus had implored Kubiak to let him try a 62-yard field goal only to kick the ground and watch it come up short, giving the Chiefs a short field to go win it themselves.DeCamillis hinted there could be a change in the works at punt returner after Jordan Norwoods pair of muffs led to a turnover at midfield and a safety to go along with a shove in the back from an angry Aqib Talib.Were working guys as we speak, DeCamillis said. Thats unacceptable. We cant put the ball on the ground. We have to maintain field possession for our team and it was not a good night. We have to get that corrected quickly.The Broncos are prepared to go with replacement long snapper Thomas Gafford again because Casey Kreiters strained calf hasnt allowed him to return to practice all week.DeCamillis said his first message to his players was that he was taking as much blame as they were.If you play like that, its something that you missed during the week, he said. I wanted them to know that first. Then, we went through the corrections. It wasnt a great week; I can tell you that. We have to come back strong and we have a heck of a challenge in front of us this week.After watching Tyreek Hill become the first rookie since Gale Sayers in 1965 to reach the end zone on a rush, a reception and a return, DeCamillis said he had warned his players that Hill had world class speed ... as in Usain Bolt and Michael Johnson.Jacksonvilles returners arent quite that, but we have to play faster than what we did the other night, DeCamillis said. If you watch, theres a T-shirt that we have that says `speed, speed, speed. They heard that from me. We didnt play fast enough the other night. We have to get back to that this weekend.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapletonAdidas Nmd Herre Udsalg .
