The Seattle Seahawks secured a dominant 24-3 victory over the Miami Dolphins in a game marked by numerous penalties and missed opportunities. Seattle scored early, with Geno Smith connecting with DK Metcalf for a 71-yard touchdown. Despite throwing two interceptions, Smith completed over 75% of his passes for 289 yards, aided by Zach Charbonnet's two rushing touchdowns.
Defensively, the Seahawks excelled, limiting the Dolphins to just 205 total yards and sacking their quarterbacks six times. Skylar Thompson struggled against Seattle's aggressive front seven and exited the game with an injury. The Dolphins failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities, missing two chances in the red zone, contributing further to their woes and causing frustration with the officiating due to a high number of penalties.
As the Seahawks celebrate their third consecutive win, they must address their penalties and prepare for a tougher challenge against the defending NFC North champion Lions next week.
