Dolphins Defense vs Raiders' Scoring Struggle | Miami Dolphins News

The Dolphins’ defense, ranked 24th in points allowed last year, gets its first real test against the Raiders — a team that finished as the NFL’s lowest-scoring unit. While Vegas went big with QB Fernando Mendoza (though Kirk Cousins is expected to start) and beefed up their offensive line, Miami took a different route: drafting six defensive players including corner Chris Johnson and linebacker Jacob Rodriguez, while adding pass rusher Joshua Uche. With a young, hungry defense led by new coach Jeff Hafley, who’s focused on generating pressure up front, this game could be the turning point for Miami’s season — and a chance for their D to prove they’re more than just a liability.
