With Super Bowl 60 in the books, the Las Vegas Raiders are expected to make the hire of Klint Kubiak as their next head coach official at some point this week. That means Kubiak\u2019s short tenure as the Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator is coming to an end, but he\u2019s leaving Seattle with a parting present: a Lombardi Trophy.<\/p>\n
Granted, defenses certainly dominated the big game as neither team scored a touchdown until the fourth quarter. Regardless, Kubiak\u2019s unit did just enough by putting up 22 points in Seattle\u2019s 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots, with a pick-six accounting for Seattle\u2019s other score.<\/p>\n
Quarterback Sam Darnold struggled for most of the night, completing just 19 of 38 pass attempts (50%) for 202 yards and just one touchdown. However, the Seahawks did get the ground game going, as running back Kenneth Walker II accounted for 27 carries and 135 yards (5.0 ypc), setting up a well-designed play-action pass to tight end AJ Barner for the offense\u2019s only touchdown of the night.<\/p>\n
That was enough for Kubiak to earn a ring, and now, his next big challenge is filling out a coaching staff in Las Vegas. The Raiders will be behind the eight-ball when it comes to hiring assistant coaches, as many other clubs started compiling their staffs over the last week. That\u2019s the one downside of hiring a head coach candidate who is playing in the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n
