Sky-Lar Is The Limit

By Mike Rifkin

The Skylar Thompson era begins for the Dolphins on the road in Seattle. Thompson, replaces Tua Tagovailoa, who was placed on IR with a concussion. Thompson has played on the road before, he was the Dolphins quarterback in the 2022 AFC Wild Card game against the Bills. Thompson was 18-45 for 220 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. 

The Dolphins are coming off a 31 -10 loss to the Bills. The Dolphins turned the ball over three times and committed seven penalties for 50 yards. The Dolphins’ offense will have to look to get Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill involved, the two combined for seven catches for 65 yards last week. The Dolphins may be without Raheem Mostert again with a chest injury. 

The Seahawks are coming off a 23-20 win over the Patriots. Geno Smith threw for 327 yards and a touchdown. Both DK Metcalf and Jaxson Smith-Njigba went over 100 yards receiving. The Seahawks defense through two games is giving up 270.5 yards per game and have three takeaways. 

Keys to the game

• Jalen Ramsey – Ramsey, will most likely be on DK Metcalf. Those two have a history, if Ramsey can get in Metcalf’s head he can be a nonfactor.
• Pressuring Geno : The Seahawks offensive line has given up five sacks so far this season. The Dolphins defense didn’t touch Josh Allen last week, so they’ll have to get pressure on Geno.
• Get Tyreek and Waddle involved early. Last week these two were non factors. They’re going up against two young corners in Riq Woolen and Devon Weatherspoon. 

Prediction : Seahawks 24 Dolphins 20.
