Tua Tagovailoa's 14-yard touchdown pass to Trent Sherfield was seriously impressive. But it doesn't happen if RG Robert Hunt doesn't adjust to Myles Garrett's demonic spin move, which had beaten RT Brandon Shell. If Hunt doesn't stone Garrett, Tua's throw becomes a scramble.

Standing in the Seahawks locker room, Marshawn Lynch walks by, shakes my hand, keeps walking. Not a word. He is indeed back.
