The Skylar Thompson era begins on Sunday when the Miami Dolphins travel West for a Week 3 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Miami comes off a nightmare outing against the Buffalo Bills, losing both the game and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa with his fourth concussion in five years.

Looking at Sunday’s Miami Dolphins at Seattle Seahawks Week 3 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The Miami Dolphins’ big-money players, high-profile players and proven veterans must all be better. Not many were very good vs. Buffalo. They’ll have to be in Seattle.

The last time Miami beat Seattle was the rookie year of Ryan Tannehill in 2012, who notched his first game-winning drive ahead of a walk-off Dan Carpenter 43-yard field goal. The 2008 meeting went Miami's way when the defense held Seneca Wallace and the Seahawks offense to a turnover on downs in the final seconds.

McDaniel said he’s “pessimistic” about Mostert’s chances of playing on Sunday but wouldn’t rule it out. DuBose, who has been the team’s No. 4 receiver amid injuries to others, will miss some time with a shoulder injury.
