“Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin announced on Twitter Saturday that the team would “#BuildABridge” by standing and interlocking arms during the anthem.
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. Trevone Boykin completed 7 of 15 passes for 72 yards while Russell Wilson added 23 yards in 1-for-3 passes. Tannehill was selected eighth overall by Miami, while Wilson went 67 selections later to Seattle and the opposite corner of the country.
The extra point was partially blocked by Miami’s Jason Jones, but it didn’t matter.
The Dolphins have a new head coach in Adam Gase and the hope is that he’ll work wonders for quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who remains a polarizing player in Miami. Two plays later, Tannehill bulled across the goal line on a designed draw.
Playing through an ankle injury suffered in the third quarter, Wilson took Seattle 75 yards the final time the ball was in his hands.
Wilson said there was “no shot” he wasn’t going to return to the game.
Wilson was noticeably limping after the hit, and was soon examined on the bench of the sideline before heading to the training table. They also held Miami under 100 yards on the ground, and only gave up one late touchdown. Plus, with Seattle’s outstanding defense giving Tannehill fits, even if the Seahawks start to roll Miami won’t contribute enough to push the score “over'”.
The Seahawks methodically moved into position from there to earn their seventh straight opening-day win for coach Pete Carroll.
Andrew Franks didn’t have many field-goal chances as a rookie.
Wide receiver Kenny Stills took advantage of broken coverage in the Seattle secondary to get 10 yards past any Seahawks defender on the Dolphins’ first offensive play of the second quarter, only to drop a ideal pass from quarterback Ryan Tannehill. We also recognize that it’s an individual’s right to reflect during the anthem in different ways. Graham played sparingly and made his only catch, an 11-yarder, during the Seahawks’ game-winning drive. That included defensive back Jeremy Lane, who sat during the national anthem in the preseason finale in Oakland in a sign of support for San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Later, Miami defensive end Mario Williams nearly sacked Wilson with the body of Seahawks guard Mark Glowinski.
