The Seattle Seahawks saw kicker Sebastian Janikowski go down hard early in the second half of their thrilling 38-31 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, leading to the possibility Michael Dickson would attempt to drop-kick an extra point.

While Janikowski returned to the game, it did raise the question of whether Seattle’s Pro Bowl punter would be able to step in as Seattle’s field goal kicker.

Coach Pete Carroll provided an answer on Wednesday, saying that not only would Dickson drop-kick field goal attempts, but that the team has already prepared for that possibility.

“We’ve worked on the snaps and all that so he’s ready to do that,”Carroll said.

Dickson has performed his drop kicks on kickoffs a couple of times this season, including twice on Sunday. One went really well and the other went out of bounds, giving Kansas City the ball on their 40-yard line.

“I loved the first one,” Carroll quipped when asked about the drop kicks. “The second one he kind of chili-dipped it to the left, OB (out of bounds), you know. I have total confidence in him doing that. We’ve got a lot of things that he can do that if we need him he can jump in.”

Dickson could get another chance to drop-kick on Sunday when Seattle plays their final regular-season game against the Arizona Cardinals. Kickoff is slated for 1:25 p.m. PT.
