After every Seattle Seahawks game, Pacific Northwest Sports presents our Dud and Stud of the week. Here are the Zeroes and Heroes of the Seahawks 31-23 win at Miami.

Every week the Seattle Seahawks play, Pacific Northwest Sports will present our Dud and Stud of the game. It’s a way to pay tribute to those who played well and call out the players who didn’t.

A focused Seattle Seahawks team took the field for a 10 a.m. PDT start at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. It only took six plays for Seattle to score on the home team after a Ryan Fitzpatrick interception on Miami’s first possession of the game. The Seahawks moved downfield effectively against Miami’s beleaguered D with a nice mix of runs and passes.

Seattle’s offense was able to break through once more before half time, on a four-play, 75-yard drive. The highlight was a beautiful 57-yard pass play from Russell Wilson to David Moore, down the left sideline, which put the Seahawks deep into enemy territory. The best Miami could muster on offense for the half was a trio of field goals. Seattle led 17-9 at the break.

As they’ve done all year, the Seattle Seahawks were on fire to start the second half. Unfortunately, they didn’t score this week as Wilson was intercepted in the end zone. That marked the second time in the game Seattle drove into the red zone and came away with no points. A rarity for one of the NFL’s most efficient teams inside the 20-yard line.

The second half was played fairly evenly. Miami added a pair of field goals but didn’t score a touchdown until their final possession of the game. Meanwhile, the Seahawks consistent offense hit paydirt twice.

Those who expected the Seahawks to fly five-and-a-half hours and over 2,700 miles into Miami and dominate were disappointed. What they got was a steady performance by a quality team and, more importantly, a league-leading fourth win.

Here are the Zeroes and Heroes of the Seahawks 31-23 win at Miami.
