Matiscik was also named to the Associated Press All-Pro Team. Under his leadership last season, K Cam Little set franchise records in points (140) and 50-plus yard field goals made (eight). Little also converted the two longest field goals in NFL history at 68 and 67 yards, respectively. He was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week after his 68-yard field goal conversion in Week 9. He finished the game 3-of-3 on field goal attempts and extra point attempts producing 12 total points. With two field goal conversions in Week 15, Little became the youngest player (22 years, 119 days) in NFL history to successfully convert 50 field goals. He was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for December/January, converting a perfect 11-of-11 field goals, 3-of-3 from 50-plus yards, and 21-of-21 extra point attempts for 54 total points since the beginning of December. WR Parker Washington set franchise records in punt return touchdowns (two), tied for the most in the league, and yards per punt return (13.6). P Logan Cooke recorded at least 10 punts inside the 10-yard line for the fourth straight season, one of three punters to do so since 2022. Cooke won AFC Special Teams Player of the Week in a Week 16 win at Denver, pinning four of his six punts inside the 20, including two inside the 10. As a team, Jacksonville ranked fifth in yards per punt return and sixth in yards per kickoff return in 2025, one of two teams to rank top six in both metrics.
Under his leadership in 2024, P Logan Cooke earned his first Pro Bowl nomination, while LS Ross Matiscik was nominated for a second consecutive year. Both Cooke and Matiscik were named to the Associated Press All-Pro Second Team. Cooke ranked second in the NFL with a career-high 44.8-yard net punting average, and his 34 punts inside the 20-yard line tied for fourth-most in the NFL. Farwell also helped K Cam Little set rookie franchise records in field goals made (27) and points scored (108). His 93.1 field goal percentage was the highest in franchise history (min. 25 attempts). Little was also selected to the Pro Football Writers Association All-Rookie Team. WR Parker Washington scored a 96-yard punt return touchdown in Week 7 vs. New England, the longest punt return in franchise history and longest in the NFL for the season.
In 2023, K Brandon McManus converted 30-of-37 field goal attempts and was named October AFC Special Teams Player of the Month after converting 12 field goals on 12 attempts, four of which from at least 50 yards. Under Farwell's guidance, Matiscik received multiple honors for the first time in his career, being named to the 2024 Pro Bowl Games and receiving AP First-Team All-Pro honors. Matiscik led all long snappers with eight solo tackles and became the first long snapper since 2005 to record one tackle, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in a single game. Cooke set the franchise record for total punts inside the 20-yard line after finishing with 29 during the 2023 season.
Farwell helped K Riley Patterson convert 30-of-35 field goal attempts in 2022, including a game-winning field goal in the Wild Card Playoff game against the Chargers. LB Caleb Johnson was tied for second in the league with 16 special teams tackles. WR and returner Jamal Agnew was named to the 2023 Pro Bowl Games, and in two playoff games, Agnew had seven kickoff returns for 265 yards (37.9 average), including a long of 63 yards against Kansas City in the Divisional Round.
Before coming to Jacksonville, Farwell spent the previous three seasons (2019-21) as Buffalo's special teams coordinator after stops with Carolina (assistant special teams, 2018) and Seattle (assistant special teams, 2016-17). In 2021, Farwell coached K Tyler Bass, who made 28-of-32 field goal attempts, including a 57-yard field goal (tied for seventh-longest in the NFL for the season). Farwell also worked with P Matt Haack, who finished the season with a 42.9 gross punting average and placed 18 punts inside the 20. WR Isaiah McKenzie ranked sixth in the NFL in kick return average (24.3).
In 2020, Bills P Corey Bojorquez led the NFL in gross punting average (50.8) and ranked fifth in net punting average (44.0). In addition, Bass set multiple team records, including points scored (141) and field goals in a single game (six). Bass also set the NFL record for the longest field goal by a rookie in postseason history (54 yards). Farwell helped WR Andre Roberts lead the league in yards per kick return (30.03) and earn Pro Bowl and Second-Team All-Pro recognition. The Bills special teams unit held opponents to an average of 17.9 yards per kickoff return, the third-lowest in the league, in 2020.
In his first year as Buffalo's special teams coordinator in 2019, Roberts ranked fourth in the league with 704 kickoff return yards. Bojorquez tied for third in the NFL with 34 punts inside the 20.
