Dolphins Stumble in Season Opener | Miami News

The Miami Dolphins stumbled to a 27-13 loss in their season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders, exposing critical flaws in their offensive line and third-down efficiency. Despite flashes from rookie Caleb Douglas and QB Malik Willis’ rare touchdown run, the team’s passing game sputtered (220 yards, no TDs, 1 INT) and the running game barely moved (under 3 yards per carry). The defense struggled to pressure Kirk Cousins or stop the run, though Jacob Rodriguez shined with tackles and the secondary snagged two picks. With new coach Jeff Hafley stressing physicality, the Dolphins’ trenches were a glaring weakness — and it cost them dearly.
