On the ground, the Dolphins were just as dominant. They rushed for a total of 222 yards and matched their aerial efforts with two rushing touchdowns.

Defensively, Miami made sure to stifle any momentum from their opponents by racking up seven sacks and eight tackles for loss. Their relentless pressure resulted in fourteen hits on the quarterback and forced one fumble during playtime.


Special teams also contributed to this comprehensive team effort; they executed flawlessly on both extra points and field goals. A perfect kicking record included one field goal from forty yards out while ensuring touchbacks on four out five kickoffs.

In contrast to this all-around team success, turnovers did present themselves as an area needing attention for Miami; three turnovers were committed including two interceptions thrown by their quarterback – one which was returned for a touchdown – along with losing one fumble during gameplay.
