The Seahawks are 3-0 and in first place in the NFC West following a Week 3 victory over the Dolphins, a game that featured a dominant performance by the defense, and enough offense, despite some ups and downs, to pull away for a 24-3 win.
In addition to that final score here are 12 numbers that help tell the story of Sunday's game:
3
Wins in Mike Macdonald's first three games as a head coach, making him the first coach in Seahawks history to win his first three games. This is also the Seahawks' first 3-0 start since the 2020 team started the year 5-0 on the way to an NFC West title.
0
Touchdowns allowed by the Seahawks defense, which might have had a shutout if not for Miami getting a field goal after starting a drive at the 6-yard line after a turnover.
14
Second-half points allowed by the Seahawks in three games.
140
Net passing yards for the Dolphins on Sunday, making the Seahawks the first team since the 1979 Steelers to start a year 3-0 while allowing fewer than 150 passing yards in each game, according to NFL Research.
3.5
Net yards gained per pass attempt by Seattle's opponents, giving the Seahawks the top pass defense in the league by that measure. The Seahawks have also allowed the second fewest passing yards (397), total yards (746) and passing touchdowns (1).
