“It doesn’t matter how you start, but how you finish”. That’s why I feel like, what Colin did, I also said I agree with him, and I understand 100 percent what he’s doing. I was proud of those guys, in the way they’ve handled themselves and the way they’ve handled this thing.

Wilson played well enough on the injured ankle to rally the Seahawks to the win with a touchdown pass to Doug Baldwin in the final minute.
Lions 39, Colts 35: INDIANAPOLIS – Matt Prater kicked a 43-yard field goal with 8 seconds left to lift Detroit, just after Indianapolis took the lead on a 6-yard TD pass from Andrew Luck to Jack Doyle with 37 seconds left.
With the offense hopefully improving with more reps, this coaching staff gives me hope for the future, something I haven’t been able to say for many years. “There were a lot of times we could have given up, but we showed grit”. Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, on a slow developing play, threw a deep pass down the middle of the field, and WR Kenny Stills had a good ten yards of daylight between himself and the closest Seattle defender.
The Seahawks’ first glimpse of offense came with 5:11 remaining in the first quarter when Steven Hauschka made a 39-yard field goal. Isa Abdul-Quddus notched his first interception.
Even though the Miami Dolphins didn’t take long to lose their first game of the Adam Gase era, something was different.
Prediction: Seattle wins but not against the spread.
Wilson was hurt when he was trying to avoid a Ndamukong Suh sack, only to have the big defensive lineman inadvertently catch Wilson’s ankle under his foot, twisting it. Wilson limped during the next few plays, but did not come out of the game because of the injury. “All it needs is a little ice and a little prayer”.
“The message that we’re sending is, yes, there are things in our country that need to be changed, but that’s why our country is so great”, Baldwin told reporters Sunday.
It’ll be a shame if CJ Prosise misses considerable time with the wrist injury he picked up early on, later reported as just a sprain. “That’s because he’s a terrific player”, Carroll said. We were just hanging on as hard as we could, and they had their ears pinned back and they were coming.
Another catch by Baldwin got Seattle to the 2; he finished with a career-high nine receptions for 92 yards in his first game since signing a $46 million contract extension.
Ravens 13, Bills 7: BALTIMORE – Baltimore’s defense limited Buffalo to 160 yards and sacked former teammate Tyrod Taylor twice.
Russell Wilson, Seattle – Wilson didn’t have a very Russell Wilson-like performance in the season opener. “We had had discussions before about what we were going to do if we got certain matchups that we liked and it was actually not on that play, but he saw in this situation that there was a matchup that he liked”.
Seattle Seahawks Defense – The vaunted Seattle Seahawks defense proved they’re still one of the best squads in the National Football League, turning in a dominant performance in the opener.
Tight end Jimmy Graham had one catch for 11 yards in his first game since a season-ending injury past year. Brandon Daughty completed 8 of 12 passes for 98 yards and Zac Dysert added 85 yards in 10 completions.
