Seahawks' Michael Dickson uses rare dropkick kickoffs vs. Bears

The Seattle Seahawks' Michael Dickson took advantage of an antiquated rule to dropkick a pair of kickoffs on Monday night.

After the Seahawks scored a touchdown to cut Chicago's lead to 17-10 in the fourth quarter, the Bears were hit with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the extra point, meaning Seattle would kick off from the 50-yard line.

But rather than have normal kickoff man Sebastian Janikowski send the ball through the uprights, Seattle opted to have Dickson, its Australian punter, dropkick the ball to try to pin Chicago deep.
