Seahawks defense yields no touchdowns as they improve to 3-0.<\/p>\n
It was the Mike M. showdown as Mike McDaniel\u2019s\u00a0Miami Dolphins\u00a0came to town to battle against Mike Macdonald\u2019s\u00a0Seattle Seahawks. Now three weeks into this new season, we\u2019re starting to get a feel for who these new Seahawks are, and if you were expecting things to look different this week… well I\u2019m not sure what to tell you. Geno Smith and DK Metcalf kept doing their thing, the offensive line was suspect and created a bunch of adversity, the defense was swarming, and the refs were giving out flags like Oprah.<\/p>\n
The Seahawks were quick to put points on the board with a 56-yard field goal by Jason Myers, and the following drive ended in a quick Zach Charbonnet touchdown set up by a beautiful contested catch by DK. Shortly thereafter though, I started getting flashbacks to week one. Backed up against our own goal line, and Geno, under pressure and at risk of a safety, ricocheted a pass off of Charbonnet\u2019s face mask. The ball popped straight up into the air and was intercepted by the Dolphins in the red zone.<\/p>\n
The defense stayed amazing in the red zone, stuffing the Dolphins on 3rd and short and limiting them to a field goal.<\/p>\n
On the very first play of the next possession, pass protection held up long enough for Geno to find a wide open DK Metcalf for second long touchdown in as many weeks, this time for 71 yards. 17-3 Seattle.<\/p>\n
