The reasons the Seahawks dropped a spot in a win is two-fold:

First, it took a last second touchdown drive to beat the Dolphins at home with the 12th man behind them.

Second, Russell Wilson got hurt, and the team is already non-committal about his status for next week.

This doesn’t bode well for a team that relies heavily on their star quarterbacks mobility to succeed on offense. What is even scarier is who sits behind Wilson on the depth chart. The Seahawks need Wilson to be himself in order to succeed, and even before the injury, it wasn’t like they were lighting it up.

On the bright side for the fans, the Seahawks are 1-0, and the Cardinals lost, so that is a good thing.
