LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Rams have fired special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Rams assistant special teams coach Ben Kotwica will take over and become the lead special teams coach, a source told Schefter. Though the Rams have lost only four games this season, three have involved special teams miscues. After the game, McVay said the Rams' special teams issues "can't continue like this." Blackburn, 42, was in his third season as the Rams' special teams coordinator.
