Dolphins' Defense and Running Game Fail | Las Vegas Raiders News

Dolphins’ debut under Coach Hafley was a defensive disaster, as the run game collapsed against the Raiders’ explosive backs—Ashton Jeanty and Mike Washington—who combined for over 200 yards and touchdowns. Meanwhile, star running back De’Von Achane was shockingly underutilized with just 11 carries. Quarterback Malik Willis flashed potential with a touchdown run but struggled with decision-making and protection, often held too long in the pocket. The pass rush? Almost nonexistent—Clelin Ferrell couldn’t stem the tide as Kirk Cousins had all day to throw. But there’s hope: rookie receivers Caleb Douglas (5 catches, 94 yards) and Chris Bell showed big-play upside. If the run defense doesn’t tighten up and Achane gets more touches, this offense could be in trouble. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
