The Dolphins showed this Sunday that without their quarterback Tua Tagovailoa they are a team in the pile and that their replacement Skylar Thompson, who left the game injured, doesn’t seem ready to play in the NFL.
Thompson was expected as the next man to lead the Dolphins to at least compete with you in his first game away from home, but the substitute quarterback was a real disaster and to top it off had to leave the game with a chest knock.

Thompson completed 13 of his 19 passes, but only got 107 yards, no TD, and no interceptions, but suffered five sacks, which also misspoke the offensive line.
His replacement Tim Boyle did not do much better with seven passes in 13 attempts and 79 yards, although he looked much better on the court. This left the team’s two great wide receivers? Tyreek Hill barely got 40 yards per air and Jaylen Waddle 26.
While on the ground they also spread with only 65 yards, 30 of them from De Von Achane.
Miami’s defense has also not shown to be better than in previous years and has allowed many facilities for its rival to reach 24 points without getting clear.
Seattle quarterback Geno Smith completed 26 of his 34 passes and scored .289 yards and a touchdown.
With this defeat, the Dolphins have a mark of 1-2 and remain in the basement of the East Division, although that is not the worst, but the feeling that the season is practically lost.
Seattle opened the scoring at 10:49 with a 56-yard field goal from its kicker Jason Myers to put the clash 3-0.
Later (6:44) running back Zach Charbonnet ran for 4 yards to score the first touchdown of the game and Myers’ extra point widened the score 10-0.
The Dolphins responded shyly with a 23-yard field goal from their kicker Jason Sanders to get 10-3.
But the first quarter ended 17-3 with another Seattle touchdown after DK Metcalf received a pass from Smith to complete 71 yards and score the Seahawks’ second TD, which with Myers’ extra point closed the fourth with a 14-point lead.
Neither of the two opponents scored in the second quarter (0-0) which worried more than a Miami team, unable to hurt, even though it was behind on the scoreboard. So they got to the break with a lead for Seattle 17-3.
Also, the third quarter ended 0-0 so the score remained 17-3 favorable to the Seahawks, with the novelty that Miami quarterback Thompson was injured after being hit by a rival (9:36 euros) giving him a strong blow to the left rib, which incredibly was not sanctioned.
Tim Boyle came into his place, but couldn’t score in the same partial, or at the beginning of the last quarter (10:30) with two incomplete passes just two meters from the scoring area and he didn’t get his team to get into the game.
Then, at 4:55, the Seahawks finished the clash when Charbonnet comfortably stitched 10 yards to complete the 10-3 beating with Myers’ point.
