Goodwin, 34, finished with three solo tackles on special teams. That was second-most on the team despite Goodwin having missed the final 12 games.
In the five games Goodwin played, kicker Brandon Aubrey produced a touchback on 31 of 32 kickoffs. Goodwin recorded the tackle on the only kickoff returned in that span; his other two solo tackles came in punt coverage.
