LAKE FOREST — If you have yet to witness the Michael Dickson Experience, you’re in for a treat on Monday night. That is, if you’re not a Chicago Bears fan who hates seeing their team’s offense backed up against its own end zone all game.
Dickson, the Seattle Seahawks’ rookie punter by way of Australia, is already reaching folk-hero status in the Pacific Northwest with his prolific kicking ability. And yes, he has a mere one NFL game under his belt.
But, oh, what a debut Dickson turned in last Sunday at Denver: Four of his six punts landed inside the 20-yard line, including a 69-yarder that landed at the Denver 6 and a 59-yarder that pinned the Broncos at their own 2.
