DB Noah Igbinoghene
The rookie had a bad, terrible, no good day against Seattle. With the Dolphins trailing 17-15, the Seattle Seahawks’ headsets reportedly went out, leaving Russell Wilson to operate the offense on his own. And, conveniently enough, that was right about the time that Seattle seemed to find Igbinoghene again and again. There was the deep crosser for a big gain and then the touch pass that came to Igbinoghene’s side of the field — where he was stuck on a block for far too long. Finally, that drive was capped with a looping touchdown from Wilson to David Moore in the back corner of the end zone. Igbinoghene seemed to underestimate the room Wilson had to work with in the end zone on the play, sagging off in his zone before frantically trying to close the gap.
That doesn’t even work in Miami’s most egregious gaffe on defense, Igbinoghene’s poor judgement in the final 20 seconds of the first half — when he jumped down out of deep third coverage to try to jump a throw from Wilson. That play left Moore streaking down the left sideline and gained 57 yards before Wilson promptly got Seattle into the end zone to take a 17-9 lead into halftime less than 30 seconds after Miami kicked a field goal to cut the score to 10-9.
