Seahawks offensive and defensive grades from big TNF win

Special Teams
SPECIAL TEAMS . A. . . Seattle Seahawks
For months I have been doing this and have been leaving out special teams. I apologize Seahawks special teams.
Throughout the year, the Seahawks have done a nice job on special teams. The only big return they truly let up was against the Bills on the opening kickoff. Besides that, the return team has held opponents in check.
P Michael Dickson has been unbelievable on the year. Last night he punted 4 times for 174 yards, with one punt landing inside the 20. He was kicking a lot of line drives last night, but on the year, he has been great at kicking the ball sky high.
K Jason Meyers made both field goal attempts after missing an early extra point attempt. He has been great on field goals this season as he drilled a 61 yarder last week against the Rams. I know 12s were on the edge of their seat last night as Meyers attempted the 41 yarder to put the Seahawks up 7. He came in clutch, just as he has been doing all year.
Next. 3 impressions from Seahawks week 11 victory over the Cardinals. dark
Lastly, I’ve liked the adjustment Seattle has made with D.J. Reed as the set returner. We saw a glimpse of his speed last week against the Rams when he had that one long return. I look forward to seeing what he can do as the season progresses.
