The Dolphins front seven-most notably defensive tackles Ndamukong Suh and Jordan Phillips-played fantastic, holding the Seahawks rushing attack to 3.5 yards per carry. They had 2:02 left, two timeouts (counting the two-minute warning) and 31 yards to go.

Actor Chris Pratt tweeted his support for the Seahawks on Sunday morning: “Today I will stand united with the Seahawks to #buildAbridge I challenge you to stand and link arms during the national anthem today”. Although the season has just started it may be better that Wilson’s injury did not happen later in the season. But, sources previously said that Seattle was exploring the veteran QB market for a potential backup prior to the Heaps signing. We want to see tough wins.
Following a less-than-stellar season-opening performance, the Seattle Seahawks seemed to be facing the real possibility of having to move forward without Russell Wilson. I’m going to do this’.
And now comes the dreaded Rams game.
On the other side, Dolphins running back Arian Foster showed he still has some moxie, most notably taking a swing pass 50 yards and making several defenders miss along the way. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Wilson is dealing with a “significant” sprained ankle that “puts his availability into question” for Week 2.
“He’s practicing on Wednesday”.
“Yeah, he went through the walkthrough just now and he’s fine”, head coach Pete Carroll said. It’s going to be hard for him at practice …
Carroll’s confidence is Wilson being able to play Sunday stems from what he said is the quarterback’s high pain tolerance.
Yes, the Patriots got the best of the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX.
Tannehill did his part in the fourth quarter, leading the Dolphins 86 yards and bulling in from the 2 to take a 10-6 lead with 4:08 remaining.

Despite early success and only down by three points, Adam Gase and new offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen made a decision to completely abandon the run in the second half, allowing Seattle to pin their ears back and hunt Tannehill down like a dog. That streamed through the Seahawks’ offensive line which has new starters in four of the five positions this season. If wanting to redeem themselves for that game counts for much, then expect the Rams to be a much better team Sunday, their first regular-season game back in Los Angeles. It’s going to make me stronger. For this weeks game, running back Jay Ajayi will need to redeem himself for his sulking incident last week that saw him be left in Miami. Coach Mike McCoy said he doesn’t know when Bosa will be ready to play. WR DeVante Parker, sporting a Louisville T-shirt – his college team plays Florida State this weekend – believes his hamstring is good enough to allow him to play Sunday. The coach’s overall assessment of the offense in the opener: “We had some issues”.
