This past season as the Vikings offensive coordinator, Bevell managed to have an offense that was in flux. His friend, Brett Favre, and the rest of the offensive players failed to live up to their 2009 expectations.
In 2010, Bevell managed a 23rd-ranked offense in yards and a 29th-ranked offense in points.
In 2009, Bevell’s offense ranked fifth in yards and second in points in Favre’s best season of his career. This will be Bevell’s 5th season as an offensive coordinator in the NFL.
Bevell is taking over a Seahawks attack that averaged 19.4 points per game. They had the 23rd-best offense in the NFL out of the 32 teams.
The Seahawks had their best offensive output in a win against the New Orleans Saints on January 8th in the playoffs. The Seahawks won 41-36.
This was one of just four times that the Seahawks offensive attack scored 30 or more points. The team also had 31 points in a 31-14 win over the Carolina Panthers on December 5th.
The team also had 36 points in a 36-18 win over the Arizona Cardinals on November 14th. In their season-opener, the Seahawks had 31 points in a 31-6 win over the San Francisco 49ers on September 12th.
