“What we had talked about was let’s get to the fourth quarter and see what happens”, Gase said. As he was going down, Suh clipped the back of Wilson’s foot and caused the foot and ankle to turn awkwardly. He didn’t miss a snap.

Share with Us – We’d love to hear eyewitness accounts, the history behind an article, and smart, constructive criticism. Wilson’s mobility was clearly hindered by the injury, showing none of his natural escapability or pocket movement. Since becoming the starter at the beginning of the 2012 season, Wilson has not missed a game due to injury.
Wilson even joked about his twisted ankle after the game.
“Every time he came off a series he just said ‘What do we got to do now?'” Gase said. The turnover margin was minus-two for the home side, which is typically overcome less than 20 percent of the time. “We can keep building on this”. He finished with 258 yards, a touchdown and an interception on 27-of-43 passing. Tannehill was 4 of 5, hitting Jarvis Landry for 28 yards and Damien Williams for 29 to reach the Seattle 2. “You can hardly tell anything’s wrong with him”. No one was sitting or kneeling – except on the opposite sideline, where four Dolphins, including RB Arian Foster, knelt in the protest form adopted by Niners QB Colin Kaepernick the previous week. Because Tannehill fumbled the ball forward, the ball was moved back to the spot of the fumble and the clock started on the referee’s whistle. The Seahawks run game struggled to establish a rhythm, though they combined to rush for 112 yards between Christine Michael, Thomas Rawls and Wilson. “He read the defense and put us in the best situation”. “I was just irritated that, on the other side of the ball, we couldn’t get anything going until late in the game”. Sunday’s fourth quarter proved how much toughness he has, too.
The Dolphins went into Seattle and had a legitimate chance to win. In that sense, they achieved their goal because that was a major topic in the locker room after Miami’s 12-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
The Seahawks emerged with a 6-3 lead after a mistake-filled first half that saw the Dolphins stay close despite only 63 total yards.
A number of National Football League players joined Miami’s Arian Foster, Michael Thomas, Jelani Jenkins and Kenny Stills in a silent protest during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” on the opening Sunday of the 2016 season.
