The Seattle Seahawks open their season 51 days from the day this article will be posted, or roughly in a little more than seven weeks. They begin by hosting the Miami Dolphins, the first time the two teams have met since 2012, when Miami won 24-21 after scoring 10 unanswered in the fourth quarter including a 43-yard game-winning field goal by Dan Carpenter as time expired.
That loss hurt, but also basically marked the end of an era in Seattle and the beginning of a new one, as Russell Wilson and the team won their final five games of the season after that and have an overall record of 47-14 since.
