Kicker Youghoe Koo was solid for the most part, going 2-for-2 on field goals and missing an extra point.

The team tried a fake punt midway through the third quarter and came up just short. That failed attempt helped the Seahawks score a quick touchdown. While it was a gutsy call, it ultimately hurt the team and seemed to be the turning point in the game.

Rookie punter Sterling Hofrichter looked comfortable in his first NFL action of any kind. He averaged 50 yards per punt with a long of 55 yards on his two attempts.
