“We took the lead and had a couple of opportunities to finish it on our own terms”. But the two were alternating in the second half, and it was McCain’s turn on what turned out to be the game-winning drive.

Coach Pete Carroll said Ifedi twisted his ankle and they won’t know about the severity for a few more days.
After a grueling seven-month wait, American football aficionados are absolutely thrilled that Week 1 of the 2016 NFL season is finally upon us.
Christine Michael and Thomas Rawls have the unenviable task of following in the footsteps of Lynch, who made a decision to retire after last season.
Tannehill completed 16 of 29 passes for 186 yards and was sacked four times.
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. Tannehill ran up the middle on a quarterback draw out of the pistol formation, diving into the end zone for a 10-6 lead.
Not only is it important that Miami’s offense starts off hot, but it is equally important that the defense does as well. Miami defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said they would use Wake with the hopes to get the very best out of him during each play. Because Tannehill fumbled the ball forward, the ball was moved back to the spot of the fumble and the clock started on the referee’s whistle. Defensive lineman Tony McDaniel played four seasons as a member of the Dolphins before beginning his first stint in Seattle back in 2013. I didn’t technically see it as starter-backup, Gase said.
“When we went into that game, I think a lot of us felt like we were rolling at that time”, said Gase, who had an AFC Championship game win over New England to bolster him, one that featured 400 passing yards for Manning. Midway through the third quarter, kicker Andrew Franks had his 27-yard field goal attempt blocked, taking three points off the scoreboard. Yeldon ran for 740 yards in 12 games as a rookie but showed he would be better as a complementary piece than a workhorse.
The Miami Dolphins will start the regular season against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. The other play was the sure touchdown catch that a wide-open Kenny Stills dropped. Sunday’s fourth quarter proved how much toughness he has, too. Joe Philbin and Bill Lazor did odd things with Tannehill, like deciding after two seasons that the team should draft Derek Carr then holding it against Tannehill when Carr was not picked as well as never allowing Tannehill to audible out of bad plays, even when everyone could see the original call would not work.
On the 15 Anniversary of the September 11 attacks, every Seahawk stood side by side with linked arms as the national anthem played.
