The Miami Dolphins made an epic bid to pull off a huge upset against the Seattle Seahawks. Then the final minute happened.
The Seattle Seahawks were able to hold off the Miami Dolphins with a late-minute comeback, winning 12-10 at CenturyLink Field. Seattle needed a two-yard touchdowns pass from Russell Wilson to Doug Baldwin in the waning seconds, and got it to stave off a huge upset.
Seattle should still be very concerned about the offensive line. There were three sacks and easily could have been twice that much if it wasn’t for Wilson’s ability to scramble away from trouble. At some point, it is going to catch up with the Seahawks.

Three Stars
1. Russell Wilson
Wilson was not great in this game, but he was awesome when he had to be. Despite playing being a horrid offensive line, the Super Bowl champ was able to throw for 258 yards and directed the game-winning drive in the final minutes. Give him credit, Wilson always delivers.
2. Arian Foster
After being injured for most of the 2015 season, Foster was able to show he has something left in the tank. Against a very good Seattle defense, Foster was able to amass 100 yards from scrimmage. If he can continue that type of play, the Dolphins should have a capable offense.
3. Doug Baldwin
Baldwin had a nice day with seven catches and 83 yards to go with the game-winning touchdown. The veteran established himself as a top receiver last season, eclipsing double-digit touchdowns for the first time in his career. He’s off to a nice start in 2016.
Odds
Seattle was favored by 10.5 points and did not cover the spread.
Next week
The Seahawks will be on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams, while the Dolphins travel to play Jimmy Garoppolo and the New England Patriots.
