Seattle Seahawks punter Michael Dickson has been named the NFC’s Special Teams Player of the Week for his efforts Sunday Night against the New England Patriots.
The Seahawks emerged victorious over the Patriots Week 2 thanks in part to Dickson, who logged four punts in Sunday’s matchup, averaging 50 yards each with a long of 63 yards. All four of his punts were downed inside the 20-yard line, two of then inside the 10.
Coach Pete Carroll was impressed with the special teams play overall Week 2.
“I thought special teams was spectacular tonight,” coach Pete Carroll said after the win. “Nick Bellore had two big tackles, Cody Barton had the hit of the night, a fantastic hit. Our coverage was great. Mike punted the ball great, hung them deep a bunch times, just controlled the field really well. Again, [Jason] Myers did his thing, hit everything. So, really happy with the kicking game, and really happy with the energy and the juice they provided the stadium and for our guys.”
Dickson earned both NFC’s Special Teams Player of the Week and Special Teams Player of the Month his rookie season.
