Nick Bellore takes the blame for Seahawks’ latest special teams mishap

For the second week in a row, Seattle Seahawks punter Michael Dickson was in the rushing yards column for the wrong reasons.

Standing in his end zone, Dickson received the snap from Carson Tinker and instead of punting, he got swarmed by Arizona Cardinals players and fumbled the ball. Arizona’s Chris Banjo recovered for what would be the Cardinals’ only touchdown of the game. Replays showed that Dickson was pretty much destined to have his punt blocked, which indicates a massive bust in protection.

Special teams captain Nick Bellore spoke to Seahawks beat writer John Boyle, putting the blame on himself for what happened on Sunday.
