Hard Rock Stadium Hosts Miami Dolphins and Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11 Showdown
The Miami Dolphins improved their season record to 7-3 with a solid performance at Hard Rock Stadium, overcoming the Las Vegas Raiders who now stand at 5-6 after the clash. The final score read 20-13 in favor of the home team.
In front of a crowd of 66,026 fans, the Dolphins displayed a balanced attack against the Raiders. The passing game was particularly effective, with Miami's quarterback throwing for 325 yards and two touchdowns while completing an impressive 71 percent of his passes. One touchdown pass was a notable highlight, connecting with his receiver for a long strike of 38 yards that found its way into the end zone.
Miami's defense also had an impactful day on the field. They managed to sack the opposing quarterback twice for a loss of eleven yards and recorded six tackles for loss totaling twenty-one yards. Their pressure on defense resulted in three interceptions and eight passes defended, disrupting Las Vegas' offensive rhythm throughout the game.
The special teams unit contributed as well; they were perfect on extra point attempts and made two out of three field goals, including one from beyond fifty yards. Punting was also effective as they averaged nearly forty-four net yards per punt while placing two inside the twenty-yard line.
On offense, despite losing two fumbles and turning over possession three times overall, Miami managed to accumulate four hundred twenty-two total yards. The rushing attack added ninety-nine hard-fought ground yards but did not find its way into the end zone this time around.
Penalties were relatively low for both teams; however, five penalties costing forty-four yards were assessed against Miami during playtime which lasted just over thirty-two minutes.
Looking ahead after this home victory, fans can catch their next game when The Miami Dolphins travel to face off against their division rivals at MetLife Stadium – home to The New York Jets – on November twenty-fourth at eight o'clock PM Eastern Time.
