With the game on the line for the Seattle Seahawks Sunday, quarterback Russell Wilson called an audible at the line of scrimmage and decided he was going to give Doug Baldwin a chance to make a play.

The defense was in man coverage, and Wilson changed to a two-man route concept which involved Baldwin running a corner route from the slot and Jermaine Kearse running a snag route.

Wilson trusted Baldwin to beat the cornerback, and he had the confidence to make a pass that required touch and timing. Look at where Baldwin was when Wilson was releasing the ball.

The result was the game-winning 2-yard touchdown, but the bigger story is the trust that Wilson has in Baldwin. It was evident all game long Sunday. Wilson is willing to make throws to Baldwin that he might not attempt to other receivers. Earlier in the drive, he connected with Baldwin on a fourth-down play that kept the Seahawks alive.

Overall in Week 1, when targeting Baldwin, Wilson went 9-for-10 for 92 yards and a touchdown.

Since Week 10 of last season, Baldwin has 816 receiving yards. That trails only Antonio Brown and Julio Jones. Baldwin has 13 touchdowns in that span; no other player has more than nine. And his catch rate of 81.2 percent trails only Golden Tate among wide receivers who caught at least 25 balls during that period.

Not a lot worked for the Seahawks' offense in Week 1, but the Wilson-Baldwin connection was an exception.

Some other things that stood out with the Seahawks' offense after rewatching the game:

Wilson's interception

It wasn't as bad as it looked live. Wilson scrambled, and he actually had running back C.J. Prosise streaking down the field. But Prosise decided to come back towards Wilson rather than continue downfield. That led to the pick. It's the type of error that is unlikely to happen once the two guys play more games with each other.

Justin Britt impresses

The offensive line had its share of issues, but one player who continues to impress is Britt. He looked good in both the run game and the pass game. Pete Carroll said Britt did an excellent job in terms of pre-snap communication.

Britt has bounced from right tackle to left guard to center in his first three years in the league. It's only one game, but he may have found a home.

Missed opportunities

On the play where Wilson was sacked and suffered the ankle injury, the Seahawks had a chance for a huge play. The Dolphins completely lost track of tight end Luke Willson, who was all by himself deep downfield. But Garry Gilliam couldn't hold off Ndamukong Suh long enough to give Wilson time to find him.

Baldwin, meanwhile, could have had an even bigger day. On the Seahawks' first scoring drive, he ran a tremendous route on third down, got the corner turned around and was open in the end zone. But Wilson was pressured and sacked as the Seahawks had to settle for a field goal.

One more worth mentioning. On the final drive of the first half, Wilson bought time and connected with Kearse for a 15-yard completion. But Tyler Lockett got behind the defense on the play and could have had a 77-yard touchdown had Wilson seen him when he started scrambling.

Leftovers

The Seahawks were in 11 personnel (one RB, one TE, three WRs) on 75.6 percent of their snaps, according to ESPN Stats & Information. ... They were in 12 personnel (one RB, two TEs, two WRs) 12.8 percent of the time. ... Wilson's 6.00 YPA average was his lowest for a single regular season game since Week 11 of the 2014 season. ... Wide receiver Paul Richardson played 17 snaps. He had one catch for 11 yards. Wilson overthrew Richardson on a deep ball, but he was pressured on the play.
