Dolphins Stumble in Season Opener | Las Vegas Raiders News

The Miami Dolphins’ season opener ended in a brutal 27-13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, exposing major flaws under new coaching and rookie QB Malik Willis. Despite Willis throwing for over 200 yards and scoring a rushing TD, he was sacked five times and threw an interception. Rookie RB Ashton Jeanty dominated Miami’s defense with two TDs and over 100 rushing yards. Veteran Kirk Cousins had a mixed day—three TDs, two picks—but faced little pressure. Bright spots included rookie Caleb Douglas (5 catches, 94 yards) and a key pick-six by Michael Taaffe that cut the deficit, but momentum faded fast. A late interception by Willis sealed the game, and even Jaylen Wright’s long return couldn’t spark a comeback after a missed field goal. Maxx Crosby also wreaked havoc on Willis. With a rebuilding season ahead, Miami heads to practice on the road before facing the 49ers next Sunday. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
