On Sunday, the Seahawks came away with the 24-3 win over the Dolphins, but the score only tells part of the story. Yes, the Seahawks won but the win came with some ups and downs throughout the game, like the offense putting up 17 points in the first half and not scoring again until the fourth quarter.
But persisting and being able to score in the fourth quarter, on a 98-yard drive at that, showcased the resiliency the offense has to get the job done.
“I think like the drive at the end kind of speaks to our mentality offensively,” head coach Mike Macdonald said. “Wasn’t our greatest day, but operating for the most part I thought we did a great job. Getting in and out of the tempo stuff, and, yeah, I thought [Geno Smith] played really well.”
Smith adding, “If you look at this offense, any time we’re stuck in a rut or there is something negative that happens or I throw an interception, next play, touchdown to DK (Metcalf), right? So we have a resilient group. We knew at that point we hadn’t been doing anything in the second half after the first quarter. Our defense has been playing lights out. We got to give them something. We got to give them something. We’re backed up, but we got to flip the field. I thought we were determined to go out there and score, give us another lead, and allow our defense to play just with that much more of an edge.”
