Dolphins news: Miami Dolphins news roundup: Reactions to Week 1 loss to the Raiders

The Miami Dolphins launched their 2026 campaign on a disappointing note, falling 27-13 to the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium on September 13. The contest represented the franchise debut for head coach Jeff Hafley, general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan, and starting quarterback Malik Willis, alongside the introduction of Jacob Rodriguez.

Early momentum swung toward Las Vegas, punctuated by an opening-quarter sack on Willis by Raiders defensive standout Kwity Paye.

After sinking into a 17-3 deficit, Miami mounted a response by generating 10 straight points to narrow the margin. However, the offense stalled completely afterward, failing to register another score as the Raiders pulled away to seal the fourteen-point victory and drop the Dolphins to 0-1.
