For both hardcore fans and first-time football watchers, Super Bowl LX allowed Seattle’s Michael Dickson to demonstrate the importance of perfectly-placed punts. Remarkable enough to join his running back and kicker in the end-of-game Most Valuable Player debates, Dickson put on a masterclass in pinning opponents deep in their own territory, putting three different punts inside of New England’s 10-yard line. One noteworthy example arrived late, when Dickson made the Patriots’ comeback attempt exponentially more difficult, booting a 55-yard punt that bounced and rolled, forcing their drive to begin at the four-yard line. Sensational throughout the Seahawks’ 29-13 win on Feb. 8, 2026, Dickson recorded a tackle and a 47.9 yards-per-punt average, limiting the Patriots to just four yards (on two returns).
