26. Miami Dolphins

Not much went right for the start of the Adam Gase era in Miami. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill failed to find a receiver in the end zone, yet he somehow got himself in on a run.

Seattle managed to comeback with seconds left on the clock, forcing the Dolphins into their first season opener loss since 2012.

Running back Arian Foster got the start over Jay Ajayi, who didn’t even make the trip to Seattle. The veteran Foster is seldom healthy, but when he is he’s been one of the best in the game. Foster only managed 38 yards on 13 attempts.

Foster also led the Miami Dolphins in receiving yards with 62. Considering number one receiver Jarvis Landry had seven catches, you could tell this day would not go over well for Miami.

Aside from Tannehill’s rouge rushing touchdown, the only other points came off the leg of Andrew Franks. The Dolphins kicker hit a 41 yard attempt, but finished 1/2 on the day.

Cameron Wake had practically zero statistics from this game, recording just one quarterback hit. Somehow he didn’t even get a tackle on that play.

Ndamukong Suh had his first sack of the year, while Mario WIlliams, Jordan Phillips, and Jason Jones combined for two of their own.

The Dolphins schedule doesn’t get much easier after a tough loss on the west coast. They’ll play New England, but get a break with the Browns in week three in their home opener.

Next: New Orleans Saints
