Kenny Stills: Dropped TD "an opportunity to make me stronger"

Wilson has not missed a game during his career.

Vernon recorded three tackles and one assist in the game with no sacks.

Carroll said a big part of the success of the final possession was improved pass protection.

So, instead of harping on the bad of Sunday (I think most of us already did that after the game), let's focus on the positives we saw from Miami in game one of the Adam Gase era.

Again, you can't gloss over the fact that Tannehill was flustered for much of the game, but I credit more Seattle's defense than Tannehill's inability to make plays. " ... We'll help him in practice during the week to make sure we take care of him".

Wilson suffered a sprained ankle early in the third quarter of Sunday's 12-10 victory over Miami, but after a few anxious moments as he had it examined and worked on, Wilson returned to play the rest of the game.

Tannehill led a 13-play, 75-yard drive that ended with him delivering a game-winning touchdowns pass to Dion Sims with 38 seconds left in the contest to defeat Atlanta 27-23 on September 22, 2013.

Carroll also said he thought Wilson enjoyed succeeding after injury.

"He's got a sprained ankle".

After the game, Wilson downplayed the severity of the injury.

Wilson's pain threshold and ability to play through injury and discomfort is becoming legendary around the Seahawks.

Teammates weren't surprised Wilson gutted out the game.

Four plays later, Wilson hit Baldwin in the corner of the end zone to give Seattle the lead - and finally exhale after a tougher-than-expected opener.

The Dolphins have beaten the Patriots at least once a season since 2013 and took out New England in last year's season finale costing the Pats home field advantage throughout the playoffs and thereby sending them to Denver for the AFC championship.

Asked if the Seahawks are looking to sign a veteran backup quarterback, Carroll said: "Yeah, we are considering all of that".

"He's been banged up at times", Carroll said.

Tarvaris Jackson is still available as a free agent. Holding Seattle and Russell Wilson to six points and no touchdowns for the first 59-minutes of the contest is quite an achievement, especially as they were playing in front of a sold out crowd in Seattle. After legal issues this summer for allegedly pointing a loaded gun at a woman believed to be his wife in Florida, Jackson reportedly had those charges there dropped. Wilson's mobility was clearly hindered by the injury, showing none of his natural escapability or pocket movement. He played on with his wrapped heavily in black tape.
