Over the weekend the Seattle Seahawks went on the road to play the Miami Dolphins, and in moving to 4-0 for just the second time in franchise history have set things up for the 2020 season to potentially be very special. That said, the game against the Fins was, of course, a Seahawks game, meaning the team couldn’t simply win by taking the lead early and pulling away. Instead, while it felt like the team was in solid control for most of the game, the Hawks held just a two point advantage midway through the fourth quarter.
That said, during the course of the game, Twitter did its thing as Seattle remains undefeated and maintained its hold on first place in the NFC West.

There were some fans worried about the absence of Jamal Adams, but Adams was at home locked in for the game.
No matter what, I'm always locked in!!! #Prez pic.twitter.com/CSHD6OM1R2

However, Adams might not want to remain out for long because his replacement in the lineup, Ryan Neal, seems to be looking to Wally Pipp Adams out of a starting role.
Here’s the Ryan Neal interception for the Seahawks. Getting to Fitzpatrick early #Seahawks

two games, two picks for Ryan Neal.

Jamal who?
On a more serious note, Neal has now matched the career high of Tedric Thompson for interceptions in a season, and while it was Neal who got things started for the Seahawks, the day once again belonged to Russell Wilson.

Wilson was calling the plays himself.

Wilson, of course, can’t win games by himself, and he’s got a very gifted group of weapons at his disposal, including DK Metcalf.

DK Metcalf leading the NFL in recieving yards.
— Greg Haugsven (@SeahawksHaug) October 5, 2020
Of course, Metcalf isn’t the only weapon, as David Moore is quietly putting together a solid season to this point as the third option behind Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

WR David Moore has quietly become a tremendous third option for Seattle—his body control is so impressive
— Mina Kimes (@minakimes) October 4, 2020
David Moore is still the Seahawks' best jump ball receiver
— Alistair Corp (@byalistaircorp) October 4, 2020
David Moore, king of the unconventional, but pretty successful jet sweep.

However, Wilson’s weapons are not just his receivers, as Seahawks fans have long known Chris Carson’s abilities.
Chris Carson is a different breed. The fact he’s gonna start after having his knee twisted like that is ridiculous.
— Dugar, Michael-Shawn (@MikeDugar) October 4, 2020
Carson got the scoring started for Seattle in Week 4.
