In the recent game between the Miami Dolphins and the Seattle Seahawks (held on September 22, 2024), the Seahawks emerged victorious with a commanding 24-3 scoreline. The game took place at Lumen Field in Seattle, and while the Dolphins struggled offensively, the Seahawks showcased a dominant all-around performance.
Miami’s offense was unable to generate much momentum throughout the game. Skylar Thompson and Tim Boyle, who shared quarterback duties, combined for 13 completions on 19 attempts, totaling just 107 yards with no touchdowns. Miami’s rushing game was equally lackluster, with De’Von Achane leading the way with just 30 yards on 11 carries. Meanwhile, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle were the top receivers for the Dolphins, combining for 66 yards, but they were largely contained by Seattle’s defense.
On the other side, the Seahawks found success on both the ground and through the air. Geno Smith had a solid outing, completing 26 of 34 passes for 270 yards, including a touchdown to DK Metcalf. Smith also threw two interceptions but managed to keep the offense moving. The Seahawks’ rushing game was spearheaded by Zach Charbonnet, who rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries, providing a significant boost to their offensive effort. DK Metcalf was the star receiver, hauling in 104 yards and a touchdown, while Noah Fant contributed 60 yards on six receptions.
Defensively, the Seahawks were outstanding, limiting the Dolphins to just 205 total yards. The Seahawks’ defense applied consistent pressure, sacking the Dolphins’ quarterbacks six times and forcing multiple turnovers, which ultimately helped seal the win. In contrast, Miami’s defense struggled to stop the Seahawks, although Jevon Holland and Jalen Ramsey made contributions in the secondary.
In conclusion, the Dolphins couldn’t overcome the Seahawks’ offensive firepower and relentless defense. The game was a showcase of Seattle’s balanced attack and Miami’s offensive struggles.
