In the regular season, the Seahawks were tied for the sixth best scoring offense in the NFL, averaging 26.8 points a game. In their Wild Card game against Dallas, they only managed 22 points, which would have ranked them 21st in the NFL. A big reason for that was defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator Kris Richard’s familiarity with the Seahawks.
Richard was a coach with the Seahawks for eight seasons, and even before that he spent two years as a graduate assistant with Pete Carroll at USC. To say that he knows the Seahawks head coach very well would be an understatement.
