Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson suffered a right ankle injury in Sunday’s 12-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins. “We just need to move that up in (the game timeline) a little bit”. He didn’t miss a single snap and even led the Seahawks to a game-winning touchdown drive, but Wilson was clearly in pain and his signature mobility was completely sapped. – Brian Miller, Phin PhanaticPost-Game: We want to see tough winsThe Dolphins were huge underdogs, going against a championship contender in a very hostile environment.
Interestingly, the Seahawks gained 205 yards on 44 plays for an average of 4.6 yards per play and scored since points before Wilson sprained his ankle. Upton lauded Seattle’s players for all linking arms during the anthem.
“There’s a feeling of familiarity”.
Five things you have to know about the Dolphins, who will travel to New England this weekend for a date with the Patriots. “The offense, when things weren’t going well just kept battling, kept hanging in there, then we made a play coming down the stretch in the fourth quarter”. Some might look at that as a positive, but given the blunders that led to the Seahawks eventual win, it was another case of “just not good enough” for a Miami team that couldn’t put it together. Tannehill completed 16 of 29 passes for 186 yards. Two plays later, Tannehill bulled across the goal line on a designed draw.
Teammate Cliff Avril didn’t take Wilson’s toughness lightly, saying, “I definitely had to show him some appreciation right there, because most guys would have came out”. They are a strong defensive team, maybe even one of the best in the league.
ANKLE DAMAGE: Wilson was hobbled after he was sacked by Suh for a 13-yard loss.
Wilson may be limited in practice this week ahead of facing the Rams, Carroll said.
MISSED IT: Miami missed on three great scoring chances. The current crop of free agent quarterbacks is scarce, so if the Seahawks are desperate for a quarterback, a trade may be a better option.

Kenny Stills was wide open when he dropped this pass from Ryan Tannehill on Sunday. It ended in overtime with Steven Hauschka’s 27-yard field goal to win it 27-24. The four held their hands over their hearts as the anthem played and stood immediately at its conclusion. There are multiple players on this roster that have the ability to change the outcome of games, and they must appear on a more consistent basis.
