A roundup of NFL Power Rankings ahead of Week 2.

But in a span of 3:37 minutes, Wilson and the Seahawks offense marched 75 yards for last-ditch effort to capture the win. He looked like the Russell Wilson we’re used to on the final drive, leading his team down the field for the go-ahead score. The Dolphins were stymied by Seattle’s defense for three quarters before putting together an impressive drive to take the lead.
There was one issue that came up in Sunday’s game. It’s the worst game I can remember him playing since the loss to the Atlanta Falcons in 2012, but if his Pissed Off for Greatness attitude tells us anything, it’s that he’ll be the best player on the field next week. Carroll also said discussions are underway about whether to bring in a veteran backup to supplement undrafted free agent rookie Trevone Boykin, who was inconsistent in the preseason. Seattle could slip lower after a Week 2 matchup at Los Angeles. The Rams have given the Seahawks trouble at home over the years.
In any event, it sure looks like Wilson will continue his streak of suiting up on Sundays.
“It feels a little sore”, Wilson said, via SeattlePI.com.
“I thought our defense did a great job, had us in the position that we were in”, Gase said. I’m far from it. Perhaps it was the manner they lost this game, which has cast a doubt in many a fan’s mind that this is the same old Dolphins team. Their offensive coordinator calls plays like it’s 1980. Life without Wilson is not something Seattle planned on entering this campaign even if it is just for one week.
And he does. In fact, this roster is stacked with difference-makers like Wilson who show up for the Seahawks.
Defensively that honor this week goes to defensive end Jason Jones. “I didn’t realize until I dropped the ball that no one was around”.
The Seattle Seahawks barely beat the Miami Dolphins in Week 1, scoring a touchdown with 31 seconds left to secure a 12-10 win.
Maybe Russell Wilson is indestructible, after all.
DOMINANT LINE: If Miami isn’t in the conversation among the best defensive lines in the National Football League it needs to be there. That was the incident in which she taunted him with his 59.6 career completion percentage by saying: “You better be accurate because you ain’t accurate on the field”.

Jones was pretty much invisible on Sunday and his lack of consistent penetration didn’t help the Dolphins much.
