NFL Week 6 Winners and Losers: The Dolphins Finally Unleash Their Stars and Philip Rivers’s Art Is Desecrated «
That’s more like it. Through four games, the Dolphins were a mess. A team that finished second in rushing DVOA last season was ranked 21st, with preseason favorite Lamar Miller averaging a paltry 3.54 yards per carry. Breakout candidate Ryan Tannehill ranked 32nd in QBR, three spots lower than turnover machine Jameis Winston. The monster pass rush that Miami was supposed to have with Ndamukong Suh and Cameron Wake was nowhere to be found, ranking last in sack percentage through Week 4.

Oh, hey deja vu. The Seahawks lost a devastating game against an undefeated opponent despite having a well earned fourth-quarter lead. A flurry of points and a great play in the third quarter were followed up with near-misses and blown coverages in the fourth. Potential game-sealing catches were dropped, and runs were called back due to penalties. Then, when the Seahawks were one stop away from a win, the opposing quarterback made the throw of his life to a wide open tight end and it’s game over. Just another week of nonsense Seahawky business.

Thomas and Sherman explained they were in two different coverages on the play. "It just was a confusion about what call we were in," Sherman said. "There were a couple calls being signaled in that were different. And the game's at a fast pace, so you've got to make a decision." Added Thomas: "We had some people playing L.A. We had some people playing another [coverage]. I don't know, man. We didn't get it. We didn't finish. It's tough. Coach [Kris] Richard said he called L.A. Sherm was playing L.A., which is true, and I was playing a Cover 3. Kam [Chancellor] was playing Cover 3 also. The whole back side was playing Cover 3. But I think Sherm was so close to the sideline, he got the correct call. But we didn't get the job done."
