Seahawks 24 Dolphins 3 – Mike Rifkin
Well, the Dolphins quarterback situation just got murkier. Skylar Thompson got the start in Seattle, and it was not great. Thompson was 13-19 for 107 yards, and was sacked five times. Thompson was caught holding the ball too long at times, and no feel for pressure, eventually Thompson left the game with a Chest injury and was replaced by Tim Boyle, who Dolphin fans should know well ( he threw the pick six to Jevon Holland on Black Friday last season). The Dolphins offense was 1-15 combined on third and fourth down. De’von Achane had 58 total yards on 14 touches. Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill once again were non factors combining for 66 yards on seven receptions. The only three points the Dolphins scored was, when Geno Smith threw an interception at his own 10 yard line.
The Dolphins defense did what it could against a good Seahawk offense. They forced two Geno Smith interceptions and sacked him three times. The defense held their team in it although the 71 yard touchdown by DK Metcalf late in the first quarter was a back breaker, they held Seattle scoreless in the second and third quarters.
Both teams will play on Monday night as the Dolphins host the Titans and the Seahawks travel to Detroit to play the Lions.
