5 Things I Think I Think About the Miami Dolphins After Week 8
Follow
The Miami Dolphins sit at 1-6 following a tough loss in Week 8, holding the second-fewest points scored across the league behind only the Los Angeles Chargers squad guided by Mike McDaniel. Despite holding an early advantage over the Patriots after Malik Washington hauled in a first-half touchdown pass, the struggling Miami roster faltered after intermission due to a series of unforced errors and communication lapses.
Quarterback Malik Willis completed 21 of 32 attempts for 211 yards and two scores alongside a deflected interception while absorbing five sacks behind an offensive line that struggled with protection assignments. Additional miscues included a third-down pass glancing off Greg Dulcich's helmet, an unsportsmanlike penalty on Ollie Gordon, a dropped pass by a wide-open Jaylen Wright, and a defensive miscommunication that allowed Drake Maye to walk into the end zone on a read-option.
