Miami's biggest strength has been their offense, ranking #1 in the league with 408 yards per game. They've achieved offensive success largely through the quality of their passing attack, which is #1-best in football with 281 yards per game. Perhaps because the defense has to take their pass game so seriously, the Dolphins have also managed to rush for 5.36 yards per carry, which puts them in the top 10. In terms of their defense, the Dolphins have ranked #14 in the league in total yards allowed per game. Opposing offenses have passed for 220 yards per game through the air against them (#21 in football). On the ground, opposing ball-carriers have ranked #25 with 4.2 yards per carry. Positionally, perhaps their best defensive asset has been their linebackers, which rank #3 in the league in terms of stopping the run. Miami has been least effective in shutting down opposing running backs, giving up 7.38 yards per target (#2-worst).

Seattle's primary disadvantage has been their defense, which has allowed a monstrous 363 yards per game this year, sliding them into the #5 spot among the league's worst. Much of their struggle has come in trying to shut down the run game, as they've allowed opposing ball-carriers to rush for the #5-most yards per carry: 4.77. Seahawks defensive tackles are perhaps most responsible for their dismal run defense this year, given that they grade out as the #10-worst unit in the NFL. When it comes to their offense, the Seahawks check in at #15 in football when it comes to total yards per game. Their passing game has compiled 240 yards per game (#15 in football). Their run game has ranked #16 with 4.04 yards per attempt on the ground.
