David Moore, Seattle Seahawks.

2nd Honorable Mention – K.J. Wright

No Jamal Adams, Quinton Dunbar, Bruce Irvin, or Jordyn Brooks on Sunday. No problem for linebacker K.J. Wright. He had his best game of 2020 in the heat and humidity of Miami

Wright seemed to be everywhere. The Seahawks’ longest-tenured player was visible all day, from making hits in the backfield for loss to deflecting passes while in coverage. As a matter of fact, he defended three passes on Sunday, which included getting a hand on a ball intended for the end zone.

1st Honorable Mention – David Moore

It’s almost hard to believe the Seattle Seahawks expected David Moore to be the number four receiver when camp opened. As the number three, he’s been a dependable deep threat for Wilson all season.

Moore only had three catches on the day, but they were memorable. The first was a 57-yard strike down the left sideline with 10 seconds remaining in the first half to set up a touchdown. The second was 21 yards down the middle during Seattle’s opening drive of the second half.

Catch number three is the one people will remember for some time. Up by only two points midway through the fourth quarter, Seattle went on their most important possession of the game. The Seahawks drove the ball down to Miami’s 17-yard line. Moore made a leaping catch in the back corner of the end zone for a much-needed six points.

Stud of the Week – Russell Wilson

Once again, RW3 leaves no doubt about who is the best quarterback in the NFL. Sunday was Wilson’s lowest quarterback rating of the year, and it was still 112.4. He completed 24 of 34 attempts for a season-high 360 yards with a pair of touchdowns.

The way Wilson throws a deep ball is just beautiful. This week Russ had three passes of 30 yards or more. He is in sync with his receivers and puts the pigskin where only his man can make the play. Case in point his TD throw to David Moore. No one but Moore was going to catch that touchdown pass in the fourth quarter.

Another thing that was impressive about RW3 in Miami was his poise. He didn’t try to force balls to his receivers. Even when he was flushed out of the pocket, Wison was able to work his check downs. His concentration was remarkable.

Next week the Seattle Seahawks return home to face the 1-3 Minnesota Vikings.
