There's still a lot of football left to play in this one, but the Seattle Seahawks appear to have things well in hand against the Miami Dolphins. In the middle of the second quarter, the team leads 17-3 and they're performing pretty well in all three phases of the game against Mike McDaniel's team.
The lead attraction is once again star wide receiver DK Metcalf, who is doing a whole bunch of DK Metcalf things to the Miami defense and they can't seem to do anything about it. The biggest highlight came when Metcalf punked the entire Dolphins defense with a slick double move that gave him an opening for a 71-yard touchdown catch and run.

Beautiful stuff.
So far Metcalf only has two catches on the day, but they've gone for 93 total yards and a TD and we still have two and a half quarters to play.
Aside from one bone-headed decision to throw out of his own end zone that got deflected and picked off, starting quarterback Geno Smith has been sharp so far. He's gone 12/15 for 185 yards, 1 score and 1 pick with a 112.5 passer rating.
Seattle's defense has also been strong, getting consistent pressure on Skylar Thompson and not allowing Tyreek Hill to get open and go off.
