“Then, to play that well, to be able to finish the game in that kind of fashion and make all the calls and do it all and elude the rush like he needed to, that was just fantastic”.

Four players on the Dolphins took a knee during the anthem, while across the field their opponents, the Seahawks, linked arms in a sign of unity.

That’s part of why the Seahawks took a risk in a cheap backup rather than a veteran.But the available veterans (list here) does little to suggest an uptick over Boykin, unless Carroll thinks Tarvaris Jackson, Matt Flynn or Charlie Whitehurst, all former Seattle backups, would offer emergency relief over a short period.
Chargers place Allen on IR • The San Diego Chargers have placed wide receiver Keenan Allen on season-ending injured reserve with what’s believed to be a torn ACL in his right knee, and activated rookie Joey Bosa a day after a stunning loss at Kansas City. But not going for those 3 points and failing to convert the first down changed the entire complexion of the game, and each team’s confidence, moving forward.
Bosa has been on the roster-exempt list. “However, when the plays count, we know how to finish”.
The opening of the National Football League season is now past us.

“He’s walking around today, you can hardly tell anything’s wrong with him, ” the Seahawks coach said during his weekly news conference Monday. He has a 5-12 career record as a starter.
