Seattle’s 3.5 yards per rush was lower than all but two games last season – 2.7 in the late-season home loss to St.Louis and 3.4 at Baltimore, the game when Thomas Rawls got hurt early and the Seahawks largely went with DuJuan Harris at running back. While both Seahawks and Dolphins fans were fierce opponents when it came to the game, there seemed to be a consensus about what the Seahawks did off the field and one the sidelines.

“It feels a little sore but I’ll be alright”, Wilson said after the game.
Some of the Miami Dolphins, led by running back Arian Foster, planned to raise their fists while kneeling during the national anthem at today’s game, according to ESPN. “Progress can and will be made only if we stand together”, Baldwin said in the video.
“However, when the plays count, we know how to finish”.
The injury originated in the third quarter of the game when Miami defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh stepped on the quarterback’s foot.
Early in the game Miami’s Ryan Tannehill threw a flawless deep pass to a Kenny Stills who had a five yard spread on the defender.
Wilson had nine targets for 258 yards over the game, with Baldwin being the top target (9 receptions on 11 targets, for 92 yards). The African-American community, we’ve gone through a lot. “We can keep building on this”. Michael had a team-high 66 yards on 15 carries.
He wanted to rush passers, get sacks and force fumbles. In the receiving end, Griff Whalen posted 48 yards in five receptions while Rashawn Scott added 37 yards in four catches. Tannehill ran up the middle on a quarterback draw out of the pistol formation, diving into the end zone for a 10-6 lead. He recorded 7.0 sacks in seven games past year, just half-a-sack off the 7.5 total that saw Olivier Vernon earn huge money from the New York Giants.
Seahawks driving. Miami defense started well, but Seattle already starting to find a way to beat them.
“I don’t think it was any lack of respect”, Ross said. “He’s come through”, Seattle cornerback Richards Sherman said.
“Our defense did a great job to put us in the position we were in”, Gase said. On their next series, Kenny Stills got free behind Seattle’s secondary only to drop what would have been a sure touchdown.
Seattle had no choice but to rely on Wilson on a day the expected NFC contenders looked flawed offensively and buckled defensively in the fourth quarter. So yeah, our offense looked ugly in the first half.
Several Dolphins players took a knee during the national anthem.
On a topic that has been buzzed about for months, the Seattle Seahawks have made a decision to speak up in powerful way.
I’ve toiled over the last near-300 days with the hope that Seattle was going to finally break through to that place. The Seahawk saw action in four games with the AFC East club, but didn’t register any stats. Seattle needed a two-yard touchdowns pass from Russell Wilson to Doug Baldwin in the waning seconds, and got it to stave off a huge upset.

“We are a team comprised of individuals with diverse backgrounds, and as a team we have chose to stand and interlock arms in unity”, Baldwin said.
