=11.0ptThe Seattle Seahawks (2-0) will play hosts to the Tua-less Miami Dolphins (1-1) Sunday afternoon at Lumen Field. After defeating the Denver Broncos in their opener 26-20, the Seahawks went to overtime with the New England Patriots last week and used a Jason Myers field goal to win the game. With Kenneth Walker being sidelined, the Seattle run game was ineffective and finished with only 46 yards in the game. Geno Smith stepped up and went for 312 yards through the air. DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba combined for 22 catches and 246 yards in the win. Defensively, they held the Pats to 6-16 on 3rd down and only 125 passing yards. Miami, on the other hand, took a beating at the hands of Buffalo 31-10 last week. Not only did they lose, they also lost their QB Tua for an extended period after he suffered another scary hit that led to yet another concussion. He joins Raheem Mostert on the bench as the running back also sat out last week and could be out this week as well. Buffalo forced 3 turnovers in the game and gave Josh Allen short fields which he and the offense was able to cash in on.
