In this game, all eyes are on Tua Tagovailoa’s recent head injury and how the Dolphins will adjust to life without him as they face the Seahawks in Seattle. While Tua’s concussion may seem serious, let’s focus on the present and see how Miami will fare with Skylar Thompson at quarterback.
Thompson, who came from Kansas State, has shown promise in his previous appearances off the bench. However, in the highly competitive AFC, the Dolphins will need more than just competence from him. With weapons like Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, De’Von Achane, and Raheem Mostert, Miami has a talented offensive roster. But in the end, the success of a game often comes down to the quarterback’s ability to process information quickly and make the right decisions. The Seahawks’ defense will pose a tough challenge for Thompson.
Seattle, undefeated at 2-0, has defeated the Broncos and the Patriots in overtime. Their defense will need to step up to contain Miami’s offense, no matter who is playing quarterback. On the offensive side, Geno Smith is leading the charge under new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubbs. Like the Dolphins, the Seahawks have strong offensive weapons like D.K. Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Tyler Lockett. However, their backfield is dealing with injuries, as Kenneth Walker III has not practiced and Zach Charbonnet has struggled.
